I'm resending this query. It didn't evoke any response the first time, mabe it was too long :-). This time I will be more brief. I've successfully installed v6.4.2 on my Sparc Solaris 2.5.1, however it's failing a lot of regression tests. I know its normal to fail some of the tests and indeed some were really trivial. I compared the regression.diffs file to the regression.Solaris_sparc file which came with the distribution. Some of the tests that failed were not supposed to fail, like: 1. create_function_2, trigger, misc, plpgsql. Basically all failed giving error messages that a particular shared object file couldn't be loaded because of unsatisfied references. The exact messages were: Load of file /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/. ./regress.so failed: ld.so.1: /bytek/postgres/bin/postmaster: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: SPI_tuptable: referenced in /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/../regress.so Load of file /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/. ./../../../contrib/spi/refint.so failed: ld.so.1: /bytek/postgres/bin/postmaster : fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: SPI_result: referenced in /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/../../../../contrib/spi/refint.so Load of file /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/. ./../../../contrib/spi/autoinc.so failed: ld.so.1: /bytek/postgres/bin/postmaster: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: SPI_result: referenced in /bytek/postgres/postgresql-6.4.2/src/test/regress/input/../../../../contrib/spi/autoinc.so Load of file /bytek/postgres/lib/plpgsql.so failed: ld.so.1: /bytek/postgres/bin/postmaster: fatal: relocation error: symbol not found: SPI_tuptable: referenced in /bytek/postgres/lib/plpgsql.so Did I miss something? I had set the PGLIB varialble and gone ahead and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the same value also. No luck. Thanks, Anand Surelia.
