I am running Solaris 2.6 (on Sparc) and would like to install
PostgreSQL, dose new version PostgreSQL 7.1.3 support Solaris 2.6? I
only see 2.7-8 in the doc.

Thanks,

Sam,

Probably. I have successfully compiled and installed 7.0.3 on Sparc/2.6,
without any problems if I recall. I can't imagine that 7.1.3 makes that much
difference. I would be sure to use gcc, however, to avoid any compilation
oddities.

Re: Solaris 2.6 support.

Usually compilation errors, sometimes unexpected core dumps or unresolved
symbol issues. I don't recall many specifics, but I have had the least
number of problems using gcc as opposed to ecgs or stock Solaris cc. Just my
personal experience.
