-Section 1:  Building and Installing PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1.1) 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 zcat for installing the docs)
-- GNU make
-- GNU readline library
-
-We also used
-
-- GNU cc (gcc 2.8.1)
-
-If you like Solaris packages, you can find these tools here:
-http://www.sunfreeware.com
-
-If you prefer sources, look here:
-http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
-
-
-
-
-1.2) What else do I have to do before building PostgreSQL?
-
-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
-
-(or wherever you choose to put the libraries)
-
-There is some good information about this here:
-http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html
-
-
-zcat
-----
-
-If
-
-- both the original solaris zcat as well as the recommended
-  GNU zcat are installed on the system (e.g. the former in /usr/bin and
-  the latter in /usr/local/bin) and 
-- configure (or "which zcat") finds the wrong one
-
-then configure needs to be told where GNU zcat can be found.
-
-Failure to do so will cause configure to select the wrong one
-and the "gmake install" command in the "doc" subdirectory
-(step 12 in the INSTALL file) will fail because Solaris
-zcat cannot handle the .gz compressed documentation files.
-
-To fix this, type
-
-# export GZCAT=/usr/local/bin/zcat
-
-(or wherever your GNU zcat lives)
-
-before running configure.
-
-
-
-
-1.3) Why am I getting "IpcMemoryCreate" errors when I try
-     to run the postmaster?
-
-(See also 3.4 in the main FAQ file)
-
-Under Solaris 2.6 and probably others, the default shared memory
-maximum segment size kernel parameter is set too low. The solution
-is to put something like the following line into /etc/system and
-reboot the system.
-
-set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x7fffffff
-
-Excellent info regarding shared memory under Solaris can be found here:
-http://www.sunworld.com/swol-09-1997/swol-09-insidesolaris.html
-
-
-
-
-1.4) Why am I getting "Can't tell what username to use" errors
-     when I try to run initdb?
-
-Put something like this into the .bash_profile startup script
-of the postgres user (see also step 17 in the INSTALL file):
-
-export USER=postgres
-
-
-
-

-
-- Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia
-  Suggested to change the shmmax parameter in 1.3 from 0xffffffff to 0x7fffffff
-  because the value is a signed integer in Solaris versions prior to 2.6.

- -- cgit v1.2.3
