Re: Error installing postgresql-7.3.2

I've noticed the same thing on Linux and Solaris, but
have been able to build a statically linked set of
Postgresql executables on HP-UX.

Solaris (using gcc) seems even more finicky, insisting
linking to a shared libpq and libgcc even when it
has been directed to link statically.

For me, building/installing from source is the way to go.
Some of our customers, however, can't handle that and
want a "installable package".
