Hi, I am using and installing pg on many servers running FreeBSD and it works perfect. Now I need to install a brand new Solaris 10 ( from opensolaris.org) on amd64 (Opteron) and install pg on it. Till now I installed pg from source (on FreeBSD and many linux systems). My first question : Is it better to install pg on Solaris from packages or build it from source? I am not fmiliar with Solaris and after many attemts (to set the correct path for gmake,gcc, readline libs and so on) I got ./configure to go flat. But after running gmake as (postgres user) I got error message and do not have idea how to fix it. ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/lib/pgsql gmake ......... ......... gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/doc' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/doc' gmake -C src all gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/src' gmake -C port all gmake[2]: Entering directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/src/port' ar crs libpgport.a isinf.o qsort.o copydir.o dirmod.o exec.o noblock.o path.o pipe.o pgsleep.o pgstrcasecmp.o sprompt.o thread.o gmake[2]: ar: Command not found gmake[2]: *** [libpgport.a] Error 127 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/src/port' gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/postgres/pginst/postgresql-8.1.4/src' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 Pls., help me to resolve this problem or point me to some detailed docs about installing pg on Solaris.
