   Hello Everyone,
   
        I have an Intel system with solaris 7 installed
   on it. Now I have d/l'ed postgres 6.5.1 to install it
   on my system. 
   
   1.) What all the utilities are needed before I start  
       compiling and installing the postgres s/w?. I mean
   
       to say utilities like gmake. But I could not get 
       gmake from anywhere. 
   2.) I have read the INSTALL file but could not get how
   
       to compile and INSTALL the s/w on Solaris 7.
   
   Thanks for all the suggestions.
   
   Rajesh.

   You need the gmake, gcc 2.95.2 (you could use the previos version)
   
   You find any Free Software for Solaris (Sparc and Intel edition) on
   
      http://www.sunfreeware.com/

   It's necesary ejecute the "configure" file, in this file you indicate the
   main parameters to create the binary files, the next step you run "gmake",
   and finally you ejecute "gmake install", aditional you need to add in the
   file "/etc/system" the next line
      
       set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x7fffffff
   
   this is necesary to ejecute the postgreSQL daemon called "postmaster", when
   you add this parameter it's necesary reboot the system, and after you
   ejecute de daemon server.
   
   If you need more help, I can help you, I have the PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on a
   Solaris 8.
