libdbdpgslq is most likely here:

/usr/local/lib/dbd/libpgsql.so

if you installed /usr/ports/databases/libdbi-drivers.

However, I've still not had much luck building Evergreen on FreeBSD.

I ran the following to fix the build scripts and Makefiles to find bash 
and to use gmake instead of just make to get around initial errors:

for file in $(find ./ -name '*.sh' -exec grep -l '^#\!/bin/bash' {} \; )
do
sed -E -e 's/^(#\!)(\/bin\/bash)/\1\/usr\/local\2/' -e 's/make/gmake/' \
  -i '.orig' $file
done

for file in $(find ./ -name Makefile -exec grep -l 'make' {} \; )
do
sed -e 's/make/gmake/' -i '.orig' $file
done

make config or gmake config works fine and I fill in the appropriate 
info for my system.

After that, doing a gmake build actually runs gmake on the appropriate 
files, but the compiles all fail because there are more include 
directories that need to be configured than are asked about in config.sh.

Since I do not have the time to go chasing all of these down, I may just 
give up on trying this on FreeBSD and install Debian or FC 6 instead.

It would be nice to iron all of this out or to get Evergreen configured 
with the GNU autotools, which would handle a lot of these portability 
issues*, but I'm doing this and trying to do my regular work at the same 
time.

*Even the missing strndup could be replaced with a generic 
implementation via GNU autotools.

Well, that's it for today.

Cheers,
Jason
