[postgis-users] compiling postgis on solaris 10 fails with a core

[Imre Oolberg]

Hallo!

We are trying to implement PostGIS with PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on Solaris 10,
Sparc platform but compiling (with GNU gcc) fails with the following message

bash$ gmake
...
gcc -DUSE_VERSION=81 -DPOSTGIS_LIB_VERSION='"1.1.4"'
-DPOSTGIS_VERSION='"1.1 USE_GEOS=0 USE_PROJ=0 USE_STATS=1"'
-DPOSTGIS_SCRIPTS_VERSION='"1.1.4"' -DPOSTGIS_BUILD_DATE='"2006-10-10
21:38:35"' -I/usr/local/postgresql/include/server -DAUTOCACHE_BBOX=1
-DUSE_STATS -Wall -g -O2 -fPIC -fexceptions    -c -o lwgparse.o lwgparse.c
bison -y -vd -p lwg_parse_yy wktparse.y
gmake[1]: *** [wktparse.tab.c] Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/postgres/src/postgis-1.1.4/lwgeom'
gmake: *** [liblwgeom] Error 2

and pstack says

bash:~/src/postgis-1.1.4$ pstack lwgeom/core

Before gmake was run './configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgis' in the
following environment, no additional components are installed i.e. proj
or geos

bash:~/src/postgis-1.1.4$ env

Within the same env we have successfully compiled postgresql and some
other applications, too.

If somebody could provide help on how to compile PostGIS on Solaris 10
it would be very helpful!
