PostgreSQL has been verified by the developer community to work on the platforms listed below. A supported platform generally means that PostgreSQL builds and installs according to these instructions and that the regression tests pass.
Note: If you are having problems with the installation on a supported platform, please write to
<pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org>or<pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>, not to the people listed here.
