Re: installation of postgresql8.0.1 on Solaris 10

Did you download the source or precompiled binary? It seems to me that
either you don't have libreadline.so.4 installed on your system, or your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not pointing to the right place.

Neverthenless, on my system, I have it like this:

[flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 > locate libreadline
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.3
[flyb] [/tmp/majk/postgresql-8.1.0] 2 >

But, I downloaded source and compiled postgreSQL myself. I was able to
run initdb to create the cluster, then I run the postmaster, psql,
everything worked.

It's just that compilation took more than two hours on Sun Fire
something with UltraSparc2.
