Hi Andreas, Dave
this time it's my turn to sorry to be late :)

so here it is:
I succeeded only today in building wxwin on solaris here are the
requirements and the configure line as a reminder for me and other helpers:

The products I used as prereq are these, I compiled them from scratch although some of them may already be in Solaris 9 (listed by build order, all were configured with default ./configure --prefix=XXXX):
tiff-v3.5.7.tar.gz
pkgconfig-0.15.0.tar.gz
glib-2.2.3.tar.gz
pango-1.2.5.tar.gz
atk-1.2.4.tar.bz2
jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
libpng-1.2.5.tar
gtk+-2.2.4.tar.bz2

Here is the trick for wxWindows as of 20031207 cvs snapshot (http://wxwindows.sourceforge.net/snapshots/wx-cvs-20031207.tar.bz2) :

../wxWindows-20031207/configure --enable-permissive
--prefix=XXXXwhatupreferXXXX --disable-largefile --with-gtk
--enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared
--disable-dialupman

I had to disable dialupman because it was giving a cast build error
between a wxString and (char *) on line 719 [strstr arg #1] on dialup.c.
Hope it's not a requisite for pgAdmin3 build...If it is one, I'll try to
overlook how to bypass the problem.
I'm not sure the --enable-permissive is really needed but in doubt we
will keep it for the moment...

I'll try a build of pgA3 until the end of the week or the beginning of
next week. Do I need to port actual wx patches to get pgA3 to build...
If I remember well it's an obligation concerning some pieces of the
"notebook" or something like that.

Another thing, I hope people can wait a bit concerning debian wx
snapshots (it should be ready until the end of the week), I'd prefer to
concentrate my efforts on solaris port actually.
