Hi Justin, > I'm not sure if it'll be of assistance with this, but there's > a Solaris > specific installation guide for PostgreSQL at : > http://techdocs.postgresql.org/installguides.php#solaris I've compiled postgres 6.5 and 7.0 so many times I just jumped in and went with it :) Upgrading to gcc 2.95.3 has fixed the problem I was having, it's compiled and the regression tests are now whirring away happily. Those build instrucions look good, as does the init script.
