INSTALL appnote for Solaris 10...
I just built a version of postgres 8.2.4 on Solaris 10 x86 ... a few
things that could be mentioned in INSTALL, and or in the Solaris notes....
There is a Sun supplied version of gnu readline is on the Solaris
"Companion" DVD as package SFWrline ...
cd /mnt/Solaris_Software_Companion/Solaris_i386/Packages
pkgadd -d . SFWrline
(use _sparc for sparc hardware)
Solaris has a `crle` command that performs a function similar to
ldconfig of the BSD systems. To globally add libreadline and libsl
to the library path, I used...
crle -l /lib:/usr/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
if you only wanted to do this for a single user, then put the following
in that user's profile,
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib
for compilation, set the path as..
export PATH; PATH=/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
to compile with Sun Studio 11, I found this worked quite nicely...
./configure --prefix=/opt/app/pgsql --with-perl --with-openssl
--with-python \
CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/sfw/include
-I/usr/sfw/include"
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake
to prevent any possible conflicts with the Sun distributed 8.1.8, I used...
pkgrm SUNWpostgr SUNWpostgr-devel SUNWpostgr-docs SUNWpostgr-jdbc \
SUNWpostgr-libs SUNWpostgr-pl SUNWpostgr-server
SUNWpostgr-server-data \
SUNWpostgr-tcl
The contrib/start-scripts/freebsd worked adequately as
/etc/init.d/postgres if I removed the -l from the `su` commands.

Solaris.FAQ is best place for it.

Better way is use -R linker switch:
LDFLAGS="-R /opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib"

On Solaris 10 SMF is recommended instead standard start stop scripts.
You can get SMF script for example there:
