System Configuration
---------------------
  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)                  :   Sparc

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) :   SunOS 5.8  (Solaris 8)

  PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-6.5.2):   PostgreSQL-7.0.3 

  Compiler used (example:  gcc 2.8.0) :   gcc 2.95.2



Postgres failed to compile on my system with or without any configuration options.

'gmake' died with this error message every time I tried to compile:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/packages/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src/backend/lib'
gcc -I../../include -I../../backend   -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -I..    -c stringinfo.c -o stringinfo.o

../backend/nodes/list.c also had the same error with 'va-list' being undeclared.

 

Thanks,
