I perfectly understand what you are saying and I have been DTracing on
Solaris many times.

Only problem here is that you don't get my point, but I try to explain it o=
n
the level you can get it.


[root@freebsd9 /usr/ports/databases/postgresql90-server]# grep -iA3
WITH_DTRACE Makefile
.  if defined(WITH_DTRACE)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=3D--enable-dtrace
LDFLAGS+=3D-lelf
.  endif

[root@freebsd9 /usr/ports/databases/postgresql90-server]# grep -i dtrace
/var/db/ports/postgresql90/options
WITH_DTRACE=3Dtrue

[root@freebsd9 /usr/ports/databases/postgresql90-server]# make install clea=
n


What other dependency might cause the lack of DTrace bindings for
postgres90-server?


If you don't get my point at this stage then we don't have anything to talk
about, and I don't understand how can the FreeBSD project use a tool like
you. :)


Hope I make it clear what is not working and what must work.

I.
