Your name : Frank Pfeiffer
Your email address : pfeiffer.fj@dreyfus.com
Category : install: other
Severity : serious
Summary: initdb, postmaster, db_id looking for file: libcurses.so.4
System Configuration
--------------------
Operating System : Solaris 7 SPARC
PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2
Compiler used : n/a
Hardware:
---------
Sun Sparc-10
178MB Memory
Versions of other tools:
------------------------
n/a
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description:
--------------------
Downloaded the sparc binaries from FTP site. Using the README
file, on executing the initdb command, message: libcurses.so.4
file or directory not found. I scanned my system, the only
file available was: libcurses.so.1. Should I create a symbolic
link to this as libcurses.so.4? If not, how can I run postgresql?
I have no compiler on this system, nor the disk space to compile
it. Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
use initdb command from installed binary on your FTP site for Solaris.7.Sparc
