Notes:

|
|
|
|
|
|
- The commands given here are for the bash shell. If you use
|
|
|
|
|
a different shell, you'll have to change the commands accordingly,
|
|
|
|
|
especially these regarding environment variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- These instructions are written for Solaris 2.6

1.1) What tools do I need to build and install PostgreSQL on Solaris?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU flex 2.5.4 or better (the lex included in Solaris 2.6 won't work)
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU bison (the yacc included in Solaris 2.6 won't work)
|

|
|
|
- GNU zip (gzip and especially gunzip for installing the docs)
|
1999-09-27 07:34:54 +04:00
|
|
|
- GNU make
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU readline library
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also used
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- GNU cc (gcc 2.8.1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you like Solaris packages, you can find these tools here:

If you prefer sources, look here:

1.2) What else do I have to do before building PostgreSQL?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shared libraries
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The default installation procedure puts the shared libraries
|
|
|
|
|
into "/usr/local/pgsql/lib", but the dynamic loader won't
|
|
|
|
|
find them there at runtime unless you use some hack like
|
|
|
|
|
symlinking the libraries in /usr/lib or setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
|
|
|
for every user that will use the DB system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first time you'll encounter this problem is usually when
|
|
|
|
|
running "initdb". It will fail with something like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ld.so.1: pg_id: fatal: libpq.so: open failed: No such file or directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you store the path of the directory containing
|
|
|
|
|
the libraries in the environment variable LD_RUN_PATH *before*
|
|
|
|
|
starting the build. This will cause the linker to store this
|
|
|
|
|
path in the binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(or wherever you choose to put the libraries)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
