My /etc/mk.conf is empty. I simply use

cd /usr/pkgsrc/databases/php-pgsql
make install

If I add the line to mk.conf it works! Thank you.

So far I have not needed the mk.conf. The packages have recognized 
previously installed versions of programs and then used them.

How is the defined behavior of pkgsrc? Do I have to define such cases 
manually or will alreday installed package versions be detected and used?


Thank you for your efforts
