I remember this one :) It was the first time I got it up & (a little) 
running ;)

forget about 2.4.x releases, they are not ok for pgAdmin3 and do not 
permit a correct build of it.

I never got the 20031010-7 to build on Solaris 9... So, forget about it 
too :(

I didn't get much time to give to solaris port although I think it's an 
important thing to get it running well. Hiroshi Saito got something 
running more recently and I think he can help you and may be provide to 
you its Solaris 9 build. As far as I can remember, he had problems with 
locales but nothing which stop pgAdmin3 from running well in a C locale 
(am I telling the truth Hiroshi ?).
Note that Solaris 9 is not actually a "supported" OS version for 
pgAdmin3... It's just an under development one :)

At the moment, I prefer to concentrate my efforts on a good Debian 
build. I'll come back on Solaris port as soon as I have more time.

Hiroshi, can you tell me more about your port status on Solaris ? Do you 
need help for packaging things (I mean provide a pkgadd compatible format) ?
