Hello everyone,
I am need to install postgres ver 7 database on
solaris 7. can anybody pl suggest me where do i get
these modules. Pl don't suggest me that it is from
sunfreeware.com because i did not get these from
there.
I'll just put the utilities in order i need. kindly
suggest where do i get them.
1.)Postgresql 7 (compressed or uncompressed tar
format)
2.)gzip (compressed or uncompressed tar
format)
3.)gcc (compressed or uncompressed tar
format)
4.)gmake (compressed or uncompressed tar
format)
Not in .gz extensions, i.e, not in gzip format pl.
The other three utilities are needed as postgres used
these utilities when i have installed it on linux.
Awaiting for all your kind suggestions.
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh.

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.
Regards
Rajesh.

http://www.sunfreeware.com/faq.html#q0 gives details on getting gzip onto
your system. There are also copious instructions on how to install
everything.

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.

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.
