Pgsql on Solaris

How widespread is the use of PostgreSQL on Solaris?  I am beginning to sense that community support is not currently
verystrong on this platform, and that pgsql may not be the best candidate for my current project -- installing LXR on a
64-bitSolaris system. 

I had to do a lot of web searching to learn how to get past a compilation problem, apparently fixed for the current
release;and now It appears (based on the reply below) that the "configure" setup is not ready to recognize 64-bit
solarisenvironment; the 32-bit executables are incompatible with 64-bit Perl.  I am not an autoconf hacker, and can't
affordin this case to go "where none have gone before". 

This is always a challenge with Free Software, of course:  potential users of a given product need to know how to pick
theirbattles. 

So, please advise as to the level of 64-bit Solaris 10 activity with pgsql.

Thanks,
Victor Odhner

Well, to start with, are you using a compiler that can generate 64
bit binaries?  How about your libs?
