Hi Joost!

I'm CCing pgadmin-hackers so that others may benefit from what will be

nice... at least we know that it runs!

Ok, I can understand that :)

as far as I remember it has something to do with a non "pure64" install.
What distro are you running exactly? Is it sarge with an amd64 kernel
installed on + x86_64 addons packages? Or is it a real debian-pure64?
I'd bet for the former.
What's your goal exactly? Would you like pgadmin3 to be built 64bits or
just use it on top of sarge debian-amd64?

I have no access anymore to an AMD64 host and can't help much. When I
faced this during last 6 months I was able to solve such warnings but I
can't remember how.
Ok, beginning of an answer can be found here:

chmod 755 debian/rules should solve this. It's a persistent problem I have.
@Dave,Andreas would it be possible to make pkg/debian/rules 755 in svn
please?
