[gentoo-dev] postgresql ebuild file faulty?

[Kevin Gordon]

Previously # emerge dev-db/postgresql   (received 7.1 on a clean system i.e.
no previous postgresql installed and it took me a while to realise that no
config had occurred)
Today # emerged dev-db/postgresql (received 7.1.3 but no config occurred: I
had no /var/db/postgresql directory)
# ebuild postgresql-7.1.3.ebuild config (failed /usr/bin/initab:
/tmp/initdb.28959: Permission denied)
# chmod 777 /tmp
# rm -R /var/db/postgresql
# ebuild postgresql-7.1.3.ebuild config  (config ok)

Hope this is helpful

Regards,
Kevin

If you care about security permissions on /tmp should be 1777.

Thank you Vitaly. I will change /tmp to 1777. Perhaps this should have
happened automatically somewhere?
When running # emerge dev-db/postgresql is the config section meant to run
automatically?

I belive permissions of /tmp and /var/tmp are set during baselayout
install.

No you have to "ebuild <ebuild file> config".
