I have compiled and tested PostgreSQL 7.1devel on UnixWare 7.1. During the

Browse Source 
process, the need for changes to the FAQ_SCO document was uncovered.  The
attach patch file implements thost changes.

You should locate your copy of the SCO Skunkware CD. The Skunkware CD

You should locate your copy of the SCO Skunkware CD. The Skunkware CD is
included with UnixWare 7 and current versions of OpenServer 5.
Skunkware includes ready-to-install versions of many popular programs that
are available on the Internet. For example, gzip, gunzip, GNU make, flex,
and bison are all included.
If you do not have this CD, the software on it
is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.sco.com/skunkware.

Skunkware has different versions for UnixWare and
OpenServer. Make sure you install the correct version for your
operating system, except as noted below.

You need to use the GNU make program, which is on the Skunkware CD.
By default, it installs as /usr/local/bin/make. To avoid confusion
with the SCO make program, you may want to rename GNU make to gmake.

*) Readline
If you install the readline library, then psql (the PostgreSQL command
line SQL interpreter) remembers each command you type, and allows
you to use arrow keys to recall and edit previous commands. This is
very helpful, and is strongly recommended. The readline library is
on the Skunkware CD.

The readline library is not included on the UnixWare 7.1 Skunkware CD. If

from there. Otherwise, try ftp.sco.com/skunkware.

However, the PostgreSQL configure program will not find it there without

*) Reading the PostgreSQL man pages on UnixWare
By default, the PostgreSQL man pages are installed into /usr/local/pgsql/man.
By default, UnixWare does not look there for man pages, so you will not
be able to read them.
