You need the gmake, gcc 2.95.2 (you could use the previos version) You find any Free Software for Solaris (Sparc and Intel edition) on http://www.sunfreeware.com/ > 2.) I have read the INSTALL file but could not get how > to compile and INSTALL the s/w on Solaris 7. It's necesary ejecute the "configure" file, in this file you indicate the main parameters to create the binary files, the next step you run "gmake", and finally you ejecute "gmake install", aditional you need to add in the file "/etc/system" the next line set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x7fffffff this is necesary to ejecute the postgreSQL daemon called "postmaster", when you add this parameter it's necesary reboot the system, and after you ejecute de daemon server. If you need more help, I can help you, I have the PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on a Solaris 8. Regards Mario
