Обсуждение: Re: gzip, gcc, gmake utilities to install POSTGRES on solaris ???
Hi, Thanks for the reply. But I have some doubts. they are the following:- 1.) At sunfreeware.com there are two gcc files in gz format. There is a make utility also but is it the gmake what postgres uses. 2.) Even the gzip is in gz format. Now how do I unzip it and once I start installing that it is asking for gcc and gmake. And without gzip I cannot unzip gcc and gmake. Could you Please tell me the process you have followed from start to finish of the installation of postgres on solaris. Thanks in advance for the reply.

As I said privately before, sunfreeware is only one place. sunsite.unc.edu is somewhat more comprehensive. download the binaries as packages, pkgadd and go . there is a suitable version of gzip , possibly as a .pkg.Z but you have compress. As to process, I don't think it fair to ask the list for that kind of handholding. Go get the packages and yes, those are all the right things you need for Postgres. Your alternative, if you are stuck with Sun hardware and can't deal with this, is run Linux on your Sun. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dronamraju Rajesh" <drajesh80@yahoo.com> To: "Christopher R.

gzip is in two formats, the first is not zipped, it is a valid Solaris package. Download it to your Solaris and use ppkgadd -d gzip-1.2.4a-sol7-intel-local #(or sparc if you are using sparc) Read the man pages on ppkgadd. Once gzip is installed, then you down load the other packages, unzip them then use ppkgadd. make is gmake. The www.sunfreeware.com site has an excellent FAQ section which would have helped you avoid sending repeated email questions. >Hi, > > Thanks for the reply.
