The problem can be worked around by removing the inclusion of
<crypt.h> in these four files.
3) Why does configure complain about a failed test program?
This is probably a case of the run-time linker being unable to find
libz or some other non-standard library, such as libssl. To point it
to the right location, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable,
e.g.,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and restart configure. You will also have to keep this setting
whenever you run any of the installed PostgreSQL programs.
In the future, consider installing the offending libraries so they
provide their own "rpath".
4) A bunch of regression tests fail in random, non-reproduceable
patterns. What's wrong?
A lot of users have reported that the parallel regression test suite
causes a varying, unpredictable set of tests to fail, usually tests in
the second half of the run. The failure is usually a failure to
connect to the server at all, or an abrupt loss of the connection.
Invariably, these problems go away when the regression test suite is
changed to use TCP/IP sockets instead of Unix domain sockets. (Change
line 163 of src/test/regress/pg_regress to match *solaris*; yes, there
should be an easier way to do this.) Since a number of users do not
seem to have any problems with this at all, we do not claim that "Unix
domain sockets are broken on Solaris", but feel free to draw your own
conclusions, or better yet, share your insights with the rest of us.
