Re: Postgresql for Solaris on Sparc

I encountered error when exec configure the source on SOlaris as shown below:

checking for fseeko... (cached) yes
checking test program... failed
configure: error:
*** Could not execute a simple test program.  This may be a problem
*** related to locating shared libraries.  Check the file 'config.log'
*** for the exact reason.

The environment set at my sparc system as:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

Need your advise.

Thanks & regards
Joseph Keow

I doubt you will get pre-built binaries. You can download source and compile.
It works fine without any problem. Have it here on a test machine.

but postgresql on solaris is not exactly the best combination from performance
point of view. If you are running it on low end sun machine, sparc
linux+postgresql might prove a better combination.
