Re: Postgres 8.2 install on solaris 10

We wanted to have the postgres binaries in shared home. One of the main
requirement for sun cluster is to have the binaries in shared home.

short answer is no but you shouldn't need to move the binaries and
libraries in order to move the database. if you explain why that's a
requirement i'll put some more thought into it (creating a zone in that
location springs to mind but it's not exactly the same thing).
