Compile errors on Solaris 8

Yes, I am going to be running everything on the solaris 8 machine. I have, however, answered my own question and managed get it to compile correctly. To fix it (in case anyone posts a similar problem in the future, change the following in src/Makefile.shlibs
----
ifeq ($(PORTNAME), solaris)
shlib := lib$(NAME)$(DLSUFFIX).$(SO_MAJOR_VERSION).$(SO_MINOR_
VERSION)
LINK.shared = $(COMPILER) -G
ifeq ($(with_gnu_ld), yes)
LINK.shared += -Wl,-soname,$(soname)
else
LINK.shared += -Wl,-h,$(soname)
endif
SHLIB_LINK += -lm -lc -lsocket -lnsl
endif
----
The SHLIB_LINK line only contained lm and lc, and lsocket and lnsl needed to be added in order for the unresolved symbols to go away.

I'm now having a different problem, though.
When I run isql to test my configuration with the current driver, I get the following:
----
root(at)commcon:/usr/local/unixODBC# bin/isql -v test
[unixODBC]Could not connect to the server;
Could not connect to remote socket.
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
----
and the error logs say...

If anyone knows what might be causing this and how to fix it, then please let me know.

Thanks,
Bill Osmond

p.s. just so that nobody wonders about the obvious....
# ps -ef | grep postmaster
postgres 25797 1 0 17:09:59 ? 0:00 bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
so yes it is running
