The postgresql 8.1.4 is standard part of solaris 10 update 2. You can
download prepared packages from pgfoundry. However, if you want to
compile by yourself, check if you have correct setup of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to the related libc. I have never had problem with postgres compilation
on solaris 10 and opensolaris (nevada).
