1: Postgres 7.1RC1 on Solaris 7
Posted by Ahmed Moustafa on 04/04/01 03:36 AM
I downloaded Postgres 7.1RC1 from ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/dev/postgresql- 7.1RC1.tar.gz. When I did ./configure, I got a error with the test program. I could not figure out that the problem. Would you take a look at the config.log and tell me the problem is, please?

Your help will be appreciated so much.

You should really be asking the PG group about this.  I know some folks have had problems building on Solaris but am unaware of the details.

They're in a much better position to help you.  Also, if you've uncovered a new problem in the config file they'll want to know about it so they can fix it before final release.

Hi Don, Here is what I got from pgsql-general@postgresql.org mailing list:
You need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the location where libz is installed, e.g.,

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

And that helped. And I was able to install it successfully. Regards,
