AFAIK, you simply need to put the path to the correct pg_config first 
in your path -- depending how the PostgreSQL installation was done you 
may also need to ensure that its libraries are in your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Given that this is the third query you have sent to the R lists about 
contributed packages, I think you should consider if you really need 
64-bit R.  32-bit R is simpler to get working on most platforms, 
including Solaris, especially with external software.  I am presuming 
(from the 'bin/amd64') that this is an Opteron/Xeon system, and there 
64-bit software is problematic simply because gcc does not seem to 
work well. (Most often the 'particular errors' are not with Solaris 
but with non-standard conformant code written assuming gcc extensions 
or laxities -- for which the fix is often to use gcc.)

And BTW, you keep on saying 'Solaris 10u7 X64' and I've no idea what 
that is.  The 'at a minimum' information asked for in the posting 
guide will give a correct description.  Solaris has come for 
many years as a 32/64-bit OS, and there is i386 Solaris and Sparc 
Solaris.
