I am running a real pure 64-bit Linux, uname -a:
Linux Panoramix 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp #1 SMP Wed Jun 1 00:01:27 CEST
2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I want to build a 64 bit version, no more chrooting.

Part of the problem may be the directory I am running the command in:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ch-build.en.html says

...
Enter the program's main directory and then issue this command:
       dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
...

I first assumed that that the programs main directory would be the root
of the un-tarred source package (~/pgadmin3-1.4.0-beta3, which is also
the directory I ran configure from). That did not work. Than I tried
~/pgadmin3-1.4.0-beta3/src, being the root of the sources. Did not work
either. In both cases it complained of not finding debian/rules.

Last thing I tried was running the command from
~/pgadmin3-1.4.0-beta3/pkg. That complained about "make: *** No rule to
make target `configure', needed by `config.status'.  Stop."


So basically what I would like to know: to create a Debian package, in
which directory do I have run what command and in what sequence???

TIA
