Olive, You must compile from source, as Mike has mentioned; 8.0.1 is not certified on Solaris 10, and you must limit your functionality. If you can at least try 8.0.3, please do so. If you compile from source, check your gcc version. It must be at least as recent as that recommended in the release notes. You must tune the Solaris kernel, with the following entries in /etc/system: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x2000000 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=256 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=256 set semsys:seminfo_semmap=256 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=512 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=512 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=32 Need a system reboot for these to take effect. After unpacking the install files, I had to export CFLAGS="-O3", then configured the makefile thus: # ./configure --without-readline --enable-thread-safety # gmake # gmake install I could not get Python, or Perl, or OpenSSL to work with this version. Part of that was the absence of current versions of the modules, part was the incompatibility issue. Hope this helps.

It seems to me that either you don't have libreadline.so.4 installed on your system, or your LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not pointing to the right place. Neverthenless, on my system, I have it like this: [flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 > locate libreadline /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.3 [flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 > But, I downloaded source and compiled postgreSQL myself. I was able to run initdb to create the cluster, then I run the postmaster, psql, everything worked. It's just that compilation took more than two hours on Sun Fire something with UltraSparc2.
