1.1) What do I need to install PostgreSQL on HP-UX?
-PostgreSQL 7.1 is known to build and pass regression test on HPUX 10.20,
-given appropriate system patch levels and build tools. It should work on
-other HPUX 9.* and 10.* releases for Series 700/800 machines, too (prior
-Postgres releases were tested on 9.03 and 9.05). I have heard nonspecific

The default install target location is /usr/local/pgsql, which
-(particularly on HPUX 10) you might want to change to something under

1.3) yacc dies trying to process src/backend/parser/gram.y.
Note that this shouldn't affect you if you are using a distribution
tarball, but it does matter if you pull the sources from the CVS server.
+The CVS server does not store prebuilt yacc output files.
1.4) Linking the main postgres executable fails, complaining that
