Folks, I ran the build on a different Solaris machine and installation immediately failed with this message: ld.so.1: postgres: fatal: libresolv.so.2: version `SUNW_2.2.2' not found (required by file .../<some-path>/postgres) Looking at the build machine: /usr/lib> /usr/ccs/bin/elfdump -v libresolv.so.2 Version Needed Section: .SUNW_version file version libsocket.so.1 SUNW_1.4 SUNWprivate_1.1 libnsl.so.1 SUNW_1.9.1 SUNWprivate_1.4 libc.so.1 SUNW_1.22 SUNWprivate_1.1 Version Definition Section: .SUNW_version index version dependency [1] libresolv.so.2 [ BASE ] [2] SUNW_2.2.2 SUNW_2.2.1 [3] SUNW_2.2.1 SUNW_2.2 [4] SUNW_2.2 SUNW_2.1 [5] SUNW_2.1 [6] SUNWprivate_2.2 SUNWprivate_2.1 [7] SUNWprivate_2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Same check on the installation host: % /usr/ccs/bin/elfdump -v libresolv.so.2 Version Needed Section: .SUNW_version file version libsocket.so.1 SUNW_1.4 SUNWprivate_1.1 libnsl.so.1 SUNW_1.7 SUNWprivate_1.4 libc.so.1 SUNW_1.22 SUNWprivate_1.1 Version Definition Section: .SUNW_version index version dependency [1] libresolv.so.2 [ BASE ] [2] SUNW_2.2.1 SUNW_2.2 [3] SUNW_2.2 SUNW_2.1 [4] SUNW_2.1 [5] SUNWprivate_2.2 SUNWprivate_2.1 [6] SUNWprivate_2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ So it appears the problem is that when I build Postgres SUNW_2.2.2 is available, and somehow it gets registered with the binary (maybe though configure ?) On the target machine the highest version of libresolv is SUNW_2.2.1, so initdb fails. I've got this far, but I don't know how to deal with this problem. Ideally I'd like to continue running builds on this new machine, but I cannot assume that every installation host will have this particular version of libresolv. Is there a reasonably good way of handling this situation? If it matters this is Postgresql 7.3.10 (Yeah, I know, don't ask me why...)
