Hi, ALL,
I tried to follow an instructions at
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v9.6.1/solaris/solaris11/i386/
in the README but I received following:


Off hand I would say the user you are running as does not have the permissions to unpack the tarball in the location you have selected.


[code]
igor@solaris:/usr$ sudo bunzip2 < postgresql-9.6.1-S11.i386-64.tar.bz2
You mean even running as "sudo"?

Is that a binary or source tarball?

If binary, is it designed specifically for Solaris?

Does the tarball's README tell you to untar it under /usr?

Thank you.

Yeah. Unpacking it directly into /usr doesn't seem a particularly wise idea.

tar: postgres: Permission denied
tar: cannot open postgres/9.6-pgdg/include/64/server/utils: No such

tar: postgres: Permission denied
[/code]

And many other like those.

Is the instructions wrong?

I'm trying 9.6.1 because I'm using it on Windows/OSX for libpq.

Thank you.
