compile / install postfix on solaris 9

For start you need to have a working C complier, you can download gcc (and other GNU
tools) from:

http://sunfreeware.com/

please download gcc +make+  zlib +_ libgcc + glib + openssl + libtool + libiconv
+autoconf + automake + flex + boson from the about site.

and set PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH to used them, eg:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH  #to make sure that you are using the GNU tools
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

then run
configure
make

Have a look at the instructions in the following docs to learn how to install:
http://www.postfix.org/INSTALL.html
http://ultra.litpixel.com:84/articles/rswp/frameset.html

thanks for your reply...
however, another problem came out.
after executing the "make" command , i got this:
ld:Fatal error Symbol Refefrence Error
No outputs written to location

I;ve already done what you advised me to do. Here is my PATH
usr/dt/bin
usr/sbin
usr/openwin/bin
usr/local/bin
usr/local/sbin
bin
/usr/bin
/usr/ccs/bin
/usr/ucb

thanks a lot for helping me

You should use: ABSOLUTIVE path, eg:
usr/dt/bin    should change to: /usr/dt/bin
bin                                        /bin

fix your PATH first, and make sure that you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH you use the required
libs.

Have you download the gcc compiler and the other tools mentioned in my 1st comment?
you need them to make postfix to work for you !

Good luck!

Dear,
My PATH is excatly like what you have suggested!

My GCC ccompiler's version is 4.3.
When I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and compiled Postfix, I got this "DO NOT SET LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Here is my configuration for postfix prior to compiling:
make -f Makefile.ini makefiles \
CCARGS=-DHAS_DB = "-I/usr/local/Berkeley.4.2/include" \
              AUXLIBS="-L/usr/local/Bekeley.4.2/lib -ldb"

After that, i unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the configuration was execuated neatly. However, with the "make" command, I got this "Symbol referencing error"

Please have a look at the following information page:

Did you remember to set:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH  #to make sure that you are using the GNU tools

and also check your Makefile(s) to make sure that you are using the GNU gcc, and make.

Do you want me to re-open this question for you?

can you please re-open this question...

here is my PATH:
/usr/sbin :/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin

all of those packages have been installed.!!!...
I still got that error and started to get frustrated!!

How can I check the Makefiles ( you meaned the Makefiles from postfix source code folder??)

Thanks in advance
