[postgis-users] Building postgis on solaris 11

[Phillip Ross]

Thanks, but I figured out the problem after a little more digging.

The problem was that on solaris 11.1, /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink pointing to
/usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc and /usr/bin was in the PATH env var, but there is no
corresponding symlink for cpp.  After putting /usr/gcc/4.5/bin in the path,
the configure script was able to find cpp and set SQLPP appropriately.

Unfortunately the build fails further down with some linkling problems, but
I'll do a little more research on my own before following up on the mailing
list.

Thanks again for the help!  Much appreciated!
