It's Solaris 10 8/07, the box is only about a year old. I do get two types of test failures though...
1. I get differences in error message formats. The tests expect an error message, "ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry" but the tests return "ERROR: parse error - invalid geometry at character 18" I think the PGIS developers added "at character X" in a few error messages too, not just parse errors. Tests in error: regress, wkt, regress_ogc Possible Fix: update the tests to expect the extra information 2. The endianness of WKB that is expected differs from the actual WKB returned. I have converted each WKB to WKT on both and they match exactly by their text representations. Tests in error: sql-mm-compoundcurve, sql-mm-curvepoly Possible Fix: have alternate expectation files for Solaris, compare the WKT instead of WKB, or if there's a way, force PGIS to write WKB in a particular endianness.
