1.3) What Unix platforms does PostgreSQL run on?
The authors have compiled and tested PostgreSQL on the following
platforms (some of these compiles require gcc):
* aix - IBM on AIX 3.2.5 or 4.x
* alpha - DEC Alpha AXP on Digital Unix 2.0, 3.2, 4.0
* BSD44_derived - OSs derived from 4.4-lite BSD (NetBSD, FreeBSD)
* bsdi - BSD/OS 2.x, 3.x, 4.x
* dgux - DG/UX 5.4R4.11
* hpux - HP PA-RISC on HP-UX 9.*, 10.*
* i386_solaris - i386 Solaris
* irix5 - SGI MIPS on IRIX 5.3
* linux - Intel i86 Alpha SPARC PPC M68k
* sco - SCO 3.2v5 Unixware
* sparc_solaris - SUN SPARC on Solaris 2.4, 2.5, 2.5.1
* sunos4 - SUN SPARC on SunOS 4.1.3
* svr4 - Intel x86 on Intel SVR4 and MIPS
* ultrix4 - DEC MIPS on Ultrix 4.4
