+1) What tools do I need to build and install PostgreSQL on Solaris?
 
 You will need
 
-- GNU flex 2.5.4 or better (the lex included in Solaris 2.6 won't work)
-- GNU bison (the yacc included in Solaris 2.6 won't work)
-- GNU zip (gzip and especially gunzip for installing the docs)
+- GNU zip (for installing the documentation)
 - GNU make
-- GNU readline library
+- GNU readline library (optional)
 
-We also used
-
-- GNU cc (gcc 2.8.1)
+Both GCC and the Sun compiler suite work.
 
 If you like Solaris packages, you can find these tools here:

-Shared libraries
-----------------
-
-The default installation procedure puts the shared libraries
-into "/usr/local/pgsql/lib", but the dynamic loader won't
-find them there at runtime unless you use some hack like
-symlinking the libraries in /usr/lib or setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-for every user that will use the DB system.
-
-The first time you'll encounter this problem is usually when
-running "initdb". It will fail with something like
-   
-   ld.so.1: pg_id: fatal: libpq.so: open failed: No such file or directory  
-   
-We recommend that you store the path of the directory containing
-the libraries in the environment variable LD_RUN_PATH *before*
-starting the build. This will cause the linker to store this
-path in the binaries.
-
-Do this:
+When you build PostgreSQL with OpenSSL support you will probably get
+compilation errors in the following files:
 
-# export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
+src/backend/libpq/crypt.c
+src/backend/libpq/password.c
+src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c
+src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
 
-(or wherever you choose to put the libraries)
+This is because of a namespace conflict between the standard
+/usr/include/crypt.h header and the header files provided by OpenSSL.
+We believe that this should be fixed by OpenSSL.
 
-There is some good information about this here:
-http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html
+The problem can be worked around by removing the inclusion of
+<crypt.h> in these four files.
