Greetings:

I have had nothing but problems building postgresql on Solaris, HPUX and AIX
with the platform specific ansi c compiler (aka not gcc).

I have read the FAQs in the docs and I get the impression I should not have
any problems, yet your bug archives suggest otherwise.

My question:

What are the recommeded configurations (tcl, ant, java, compilers) on the
following Platforms for building Postgresql ?

AIX 4.3.3
HPUX 11.00
Solaris 2.8, 2.7, 2.6

Thank you.

Curiously enough, a lot of other people manage to do it; and our
platform FAQs for those platforms do enumerate the known pitfalls.

Perhaps you could be specific about exactly what problems you're having.

We build on HP-UX and Solaris 2.7 with gcc, but not with ant, java
at this point.
