That's just the makefile commands being echo'd. Have you never built a
package from a source tarball before? This is normal.

Don't know about the "doesn't belong or..." problem, but the second one
is probably due to the same thing as I suggested to another Solaris
user, just within the last few days...

Is directory containing libreadline in LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you're su'd
to the postgreSQL user?

I added

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to /etc/init.d/postgresql and created a .profile in its home directory
with that in it.

Solved all those problems :).

You can also solve such problems by using the -R switch during build
(man ld) and with Solaris 8/9's new "crle" utility.
