I've got this in my profile:

    # 64 bit compiling
    CC="gcc"
    CXX="g++"
    CPP="gcc"
    CFLAGS="-m64"
    CPPFLAGS="-m64"
    CXXFLAGS="-m64"

    # 3rd party libray
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

and ran source ~/.profile

Despite that I found I had to add some of that to the configure command 
(shouldn't have to log out after sourcing profile right?) like so:

    ./configure CC=gcc CFLAGS=-m64 CPPFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64 
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib --with-geosconfig=/usr/local/bin/geos-config

This completes without error.  The only warnings I saw were about 
dblatex and CUnit.  The final output of configure being:

   PostGIS is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.11

Make starts out well but dies with an error complaining about not 
finding SunStudio!

This is a Solaris 11 box I should mention and gcc was installed from the 
Oracle Solaris 11 repository as opposed to a 3rd-party package or from 
source.  I don't have Sun Studio installed (never did) and other 
programs compiled without problem (Proj 4 and GEOS).  This error 
"/opt/studio11/SUNWspro/bin/cc: not found" appears to be PostGIS 
specific (according to Google anyway).  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Doug
