pg_config broken in 7.1.1 on FreeBSD with Tcl + Java
When I build PostgreSQL 7.1.1 from the port on FreeBSD 4.3, pg_config
gets built with a syntax error in the "val_configure=..." line. It
looks like multiple levels of single quotes, where different kinds of
quotes should have been used.
This gives an error when pg_config is executed, and the --configure
option produces no output.
Thanks!

Here is the beginning of pg_config:
#! /bin/sh
# This shell script saves various pieces of information about the
# installed version of PostgreSQL. Packages that interface to
# PostgreSQL can use it to configure their build.

What is the configure line that this installation uses?
val_configure='--enable-locale --enable-syslog --with-CXX

Where do these extra quotes come from?

I'm not sure that I understand the question. I just installed PostgreSQL
from the FreeBSD port and selected the Tcl, Java, and OpenSSL options. I'm
guessing that whatever generated pg_config saw the spaces in, for example,
"--with-includes=/usr/local/include /usr/local/include/tcl8.3
/usr/local/include/tk8.3" and added the single-quotes to protect them. Using
the same flavor of quotes at the outer level caused sh to terminate the
string early and attempt to interpret "/usr/local/include/tcl8.3" as a
command.
I presume that the configure arguments were:
--enable-locale --enable-syslog --with-CXX
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/postgresql
'--with-includes=/usr/local/include /usr/local/include/tcl8.3
/usr/local/include/tk8.3'
--with-libraries=/usr/local/lib
--docdir=/usr/local/share/doc
--includedir=/usr/local/include/pgsql
--with-java --with-openssl --enable-multibyte --with-tcl
'--with-tclconfig=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3 /usr/local/lib/tk8.3'
--with-tkconfig=/usr/local/lib/tk8.3
--prefix=/usr/local i386--freebsd4.3
The original quoted text got mangled by my mailer - there are many extra
newlines. Some of the above may get mangled, as well.
I think that this problem can be solved by using double quotes when
val_configure="....." is generated.

Fixed now.
