Ah, thank you for clearing that up. I was going off of: http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.4/ch02.html#id2531756 which, respectively, Which is how I've always built software, test before install, so I didn't question the directions.
I understand not conflicting with a running PostgreSQL, but is there a socket-only connection style like MySQL can do to connect to just that specific instance? I figured the tests were writing to a temp postgis.sql somewhere so it wouldn't require installing into PostgreSQL, and something like a sed or shell command wasn't working quite right. There is a shell command to call "pushd" (regress/Makefile.in), which doesn't exist in my user compiling PostGIS that uses bourne shell by default (not bourne again shell), so I didn't know if there were other things being called that don't exist on Solaris. I just ran make check and it failed 5 out of 42 tests, so I'll take a closer look at it. Thanks again for letting me know, and I'll definitely put that down as the thing to do.
