I'm just curious: why are you compiling your own? If you want to stick with lenny and need 8.4: It's in backports.org (package posgtgresql-8.4). On the other hand, squeeze (what is to become the next Debian version any month now) is already quite stable, so you could update to squeeze. If you need some extensions or contrib modules: have you looked through all pstgres packages, the postgresql-8.3 (or postgresql) packages only pull in a core set, additional stuff is packaged, and to compile you own extensions, just install postgresql-server-dev-8.4. (Of course there are valid reasons to compile your own, but for me as a pg user and not developer, I've not met them in a long time...) cheers -- vbi -- Umlaut Zebra über alles!
