Notes: 1) What tools do I need to build and install PostgreSQL on Solaris?
- 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 You will need
- GNU flex 2.5.4 or better (the lex included in Solaris 2.6 won't work) - GNU zip (for installing the documentation)
- GNU bison (the yacc included in Solaris 2.6 won't work)
- GNU zip (gzip and especially gunzip for installing the docs)
- GNU make - GNU make
- GNU readline library - GNU readline library (optional)
We also used Both GCC and the Sun compiler suite work.
- GNU cc (gcc 2.8.1)

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
----------------
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 src/backend/libpq/crypt.c
src/backend/libpq/password.c
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
(or wherever you choose to put the libraries) 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.
There is some good information about this here: The problem can be worked around by removing the inclusion of
http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html <crypt.h> in these four files.
