Building the 64-bit Postgres

<div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal">We adding support for Solaris x86 and this pushes us to upgrade the from the
old-oldversion of Postgres we’ve been using for years.<p class="MsoNormal">(The requirement is to have the 64-bit exec
andlibs)<p class="MsoNormal">I looked at the release notes but could not figure out at which point Postgres gave the
optionof building the 64-bit binaries.<p class="MsoNormal">Notes for  Rel. 8.2  read  “Add support for <span
class="productname">Solarisx86_64</span> using the <span class="productname">Solaris</span> compiler“ <p
class="MsoNormal">Isthis only about being able to compile on this platform, or actually build the 64-bit app?<p
class="MsoNormal">Releasenotes for 8.4 suggest that it can be the 64-bit build:  “Make <code><span
style="font-size:10.0pt">version()</span></code>return information about whether the server is a 32- or 64-bit
binary”<pclass="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">It may sound stupid, but there’s a number of factors here, and we may
notbe able to upgrade to the very latest version, hence the question…<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">One
featurethat we’ll be missing terribly is the client TCL api, if I’m correct it was dropped back in v 7.4<p
class="MsoNormal">Didanyone have a good experience with either pgtcl or pgtcl-ng from pgFoundry?<p
class="MsoNormal">Whichone would you recommend?<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">We are building on Solaris,
Sol-x86and Linux, if this matters.<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance,<p class="MsoNormal">Michael.<p
