Well done Raphaël - I'll buy you a large beer if we meet sometime!

I'll hopefully look at this tomorrow.

Hmm, I don't have any Sparcs, but I did get MS Virtual PC 2004 yesterday. Slackware and FreeBSD run on it a treat - I
wasintending to try Solaris 8 x86 tomorrow (I don't have 9). It's not a box that could stay permanently of course, but
Icould do the occasional snapshot using it. 

Anyone else have access to a Sparc?

I remember this one :) It was the first time I got it up & (a little)
running ;)

forget about 2.4.x releases, they are not ok for pgAdmin3 and do not
permit a correct build of it.

I never got the 20031010-7 to build on Solaris 9... So, forget about it
too :(

I didn't get much time to give to solaris port although I think it's an
important thing to get it running well. Hiroshi Saito got something
running more recently and I think he can help you and may be provide to
you its Solaris 9 build. As far as I can remember, he had problems with
locales but nothing which stop pgAdmin3 from running well in a C locale
(am I telling the truth Hiroshi ?).
Note that Solaris 9 is not actually a "supported" OS version for
pgAdmin3... It's just an under development one :)

At the moment, I prefer to concentrate my efforts on a good Debian
build. I'll come back on Solaris port as soon as I have more time.

Hiroshi, can you tell me more about your port status on Solaris ? Do you
need help for packaging things (I mean provide a pkgadd compatible format) ?

Regards,
Raphaël
P.S. Please CC to the list, you will get more chance to get a rapid and
better answer ;)

Yes, a Multi-Byte problem still exists.
See this.
http://cre-ent.skcapi.co.jp/~saito/pgadmin3/Solaris9_Sparc64/
However, it wasn't touching it after that time.
I must seem to try it again under the present release condition.
I don't have the time when it is busy it this week with me disappointed.:-(
Sorry...
