Thread: Postgres on Solaris

Postgres on Solaris

From

Good day,

 

I work in an environment where we have multiple Sun boxes running various databases such as oracle, Sybase etc. However I would like to evaluate  PostgreSQL as an alternative database system on sun hardware and software. However I can’t seem to get Postgres to compile on any of our Sun servers, are there any precompiled recent versions of PostreSql available ? Do you have an updated version of the installation/compilation of Postgres on Solaris 8 or 9? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which version of Solaris?  Which compiler and version?  Which version
of PostgreSQL?  What ./configure options did you specify?  Does the
build fail during ./configure or during the compile?  What errors
are displayed?  PostgreSQL requires GNU make (gmake) -- are you
using it?

I've built several versions of PostgreSQL on Solaris 9 with gcc 3.4.2
and gmake 3.80 without any problems.
