All, I downloaded the file for Sun solaris 8.4 version, and extracted. Can someone tell me where the configure script is? Which unix account should run this script? You help is very appreciated. 15.5. Installation Procedure1. ConfigurationThe first step of the installation procedure is to configure the source tree for your system and choose the options you would like. This is done by running the configure script. For a default installation simply enter:
./configure
This script will run a number of tests to determine values for various system dependent variables and detect any quirks of your operating system, and finally will create several files in the build tree to record what it found. (You can also run configure in a directory outside the source tree if you want to keep the build directory separate.)
The default configuration will build the server and utilities, as well as all client applications and interfaces that require only a C compiler. All files will be installed under /usr/local/pgsql by default.
You can customize the build and installation process by supplying one or more of the following command line options to configure:
--prefix=PREFIX
Thanks much!
