Jignesh Shah had (prior to his departure from the once-great Sun Microsystems) written a couple of informative articles that provided the most effective options to use depending on your architecture. Google his name and postgresql and I'm fairly certain you'll get some good hits. I believe he's working for VMware, so if you're on an x86 system, he may have even more up-to-date information building with the Sun compiler. It's been many months since I've had to deal with compiling software on Solaris, but IIRC I had to pass a few options in CFLAGS before calling configure. I also had a completely clean environment (i.e. very minimal PATH, no LD_LIBRARY_PATH). In the case of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, check the output of crle to see if the admins have added anything to the system runtime link path. Try: CC=/your/path/to/suncc CFLAGS="-I/your/non-standard/include -L/your/non-standard/lib -R/your/non-standard/lib ..." \ ./configure ... -- Gary Chambers /* Nothing fancy and nothing Microsoft! */ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
