PostgreSQL version: 8.2.5
Operating system:   OSX Leopard
Description:        Fails to compile DTrace Support
Details:

I have built a patch to enable a working DTrace on OSX with Postgres 8.2.5.
Basically the problem is that the dtrace command on OSX doesn't have the -G
parameter - so you have to use the newer -h method to produce a header file.


I have put the patch on my blog.

Hope this is of use to you guys.

Cheers,
