These binaries are built for Solaris 10.  They have been tested on 
Solaris 10 10/08 (U6) and may not work on older releases


NB this is not an officially supported Sun released product.

How to install the Solaris binaries of PostgreSQL 8.4.13
--------------------------------------------------------

Go to the directory where you want to have it installed and

  bunzip2 < postgresql-8.4.13-S10.sparc-32.tar.bz2 | tar xpf -

or

  bunzip2 < postgresql-8.4.13-S10.sparc-64.tar.bz2 | tar xpf -

These two compressed archives contain 32 bit or 64 bit binaries,
respectively, in addition to documentation, header files etc. which
are common to both.

The files will be installed in directories under
'postgres/8.4-community', so if you install under /usr they will be at
locations similar to the existing PostgreSQL in Solaris. If you have
previously installed an 8.4 beta version, this will not be
over-written as the directory name has changed.

The directory is called '8.4-community' in order to avoid any
confusion with  versions of PostgreSQL delivered with Solaris.

If you install as root, the files will be owned by the user
'postgres', unless you add the option character 'o' to the tar
command, in which case they will be owned by root.

Make sure <install dir>/postgres/8.4-community/bin is in your PATH
*before* /usr/bin, otherwise you will by default use the PostgreSQL
8.1 binaries.

If you install the 64bit package, these files will install in
subdirectories bin/64 and lib/64 rather than bin and lib; adjust your
PATH accordingly.  This also means that it's possible to install both
32 bit and 64 bit PostgreSQL on the same system.
