Обсуждение: error installing PGSql 7.4.3 on Solaris 9

Not sure if I am writing to the correct list but this was the address it
gave at the top of the "Supported Platforms" in the docs.

when I run: ./configure --without-readline, I get the following error that
aborts the config process: "checking types of arguments for accept()...
configure: error: could not determine argument types"

I checked the config.log and found the following log msgs:
----

configure:10965: parse error before `accept'
configure:10965: conflicting types for `accept'
/usr/include/sys/socket.h:446: previous declaration of `accept'

I get the impression that your system may have nonstandard dependencies
between system header files that require us to throw some additional
explicit "#include"s into this test.  It's hard to be sure how to fix it
from what you have shown us, but this:

> /usr/include/netinet/in.h:304: storage size of `sin_addr' isn't known
> /usr/include/netinet/in.h:320: storage size of `sin6_addr' isn't known

looks a lot like netinet/in.h is being included without including some
header it depends on.  Can you dig into it and determine an appropriate
fix?
