- 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.

1.1) What tools do I need to build and install PostgreSQL on Solaris?
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)
- GNU zip (for installing the documentation)
- GNU make
- GNU readline library
- GNU readline library (optional)
We also used
- GNU cc (gcc 2.8.1)
Both GCC and the Sun compiler suite work.
If you like Solaris packages, you can find these tools here:

2) Why do I get problems when building with OpenSSL support?
1.2) What else do I have to do before building PostgreSQL?
When you build PostgreSQL with OpenSSL support you will probably get
compilation errors in the following files:
Shared libraries
----------------
src/backend/libpq/crypt.c
src/backend/libpq/password.c
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
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.
This is because of a namespace conflict between the standard
/usr/include/crypt.h header and the header files provided by OpenSSL.
We believe that this should be fixed by OpenSSL.
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)
There is some good information about this here:
http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html
The problem can be worked around by removing the inclusion of
<crypt.h> in these four files.
