Thread: Problems buidling PostgreSQL v7.0.2 on Solaris 2.5.1

Hello,

I am attempting to build PostgreSQL v7.0.2 on a Sparc running Solaris 2.5.1. I
can compile the source successfully, and I see the following message:

All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install.

Once I attempt to install, I get errors that look like:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/anubis22/oberpwd/postgresql-7.0.2/src/backend/access'
gmake -C common   postgres/usr/X11R6
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/home/anubis22/oberpwd/postgresql-7.0.2/src/backend/access/common'
gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target `postgres/usr/X11R6'.  Stop.
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home/anubis22/oberpwd/postgresql-7.0.2/src/backend/access/common'
gmake[2]: *** [postgres/usr/X11R6] Error 2

Has anyone seen this before, or know why this is happening? I am compiling the
source locally and attempting to install in my local directory (i.e. without
root privledges). I have attached a script capturing the output of the
configure, make, and install steps.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

hello.

can anyone recommend a windows ui tool for viewing data in postgres?
essentially i want to use something other than the command line for looking
at results.  as an emample, i'm looking for the equivalent of TOAD for
Oracle.  is the easiest approach to connect in MS Access via odbc?

thanks
chris

Oh my, it looks like gmake is finding a value of $(X) from somewhere
instead of assuming it's empty.  Possibly "unset X" will help.

   Well, I'd say "find the data access/modelling tool of your choice, and
hook it up with ODBC."

  I'm used to the SQL Explorer that comes with Delphi, so that's what I use,
although I've heard that TOAD is much nicer....

I'll change it to EXEEXT, which is the standard name, when I get a chance.
