Can't compile 6.4.2 on Solaris 2.6

Hi all,

I don't know what's going on here. I simply
cannot compile PostgreSQL 6.4.2 on SPARC
Solaris 2.6. The first trouble arises in the
configure script:

kandinsky:root# ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.6
checking echo setting...
checking setting template to... solaris_sparc_gcc
./configure: conftest.sh: not found

I think the problem here seems to be at line 743:

741: rm -f conftest.sh
742: sed 's/^\([A-Za-z_]*\):\(.*\)$/\1="\2"/' "template/$TEMPLATE" >conftest.sh
743: . conftest.sh
744: rm -f conftest.sh

I changed it to:

741: rm -f conftest.sh
742: sed 's/^\([A-Za-z_]*\):\(.*\)$/\1="\2"/' "template/$TEMPLATE" >conftest.sh
743: chmod +x conftest.sh; ./conftest.sh
744: rm -f conftest.sh

and configure finally lurched into action.

But then it fell over when compiling too!:

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/access/transam'
gcc -I../../../include -I../../../backend -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -I../.. -c transam.c -o transam.o

??

What's going on here? Postgresql-v6.4 compiles fine.

I'm using:

SPARC Solaris 2.6 5/98 + sundry patches
gcc 2.8.1
flex 2.5.4a
bison 1.25

Has anyone else got 6.4.2 working on Solaris 2.6?

Cheers.

Patrick
