client for solaris

From

Hi all,
  I am looking for a postgreSQL client (okay with command line client) for
installing on a Solaris 8 machine. The basic idea is to use the client and
retreive the data from a database running on another machine. So, I want
to know where I can get the client (url) for solaris? I dont want all the
source, only the source of client. I am assuming postgreSQL will run on
solaris. I can make a package from the source. By client, I mean the
client libraries.

thanks,
Aravind

Just complie the source and install it, don't do an initdd and add it to
your path :

psql -h <host> <dbname>

You will have to download the entire PostgreSQL source; the smallest available
package is "postgresql-base-x.x.tar.gz" which doesn't include the docs. etc.

This page:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.3/postgres/install-procedure.html
contains info on installing the standard client apps without the server.

Hi,

I've followed the instructions on the site but if psql is the mentioned
client, I can't access it, no matter begin user or su.

what exactly can't you access? psql or the remote database?
What didn't work, and how?

Only if you give some more details ;-)
