Ccing list.

Note: Bottom posting is the style on this list. Unfortunately the 
screenshot is not coming through on this reply. For those that see this 
the screenshot showed:

LC_ALL en_US.UTF8

Generally it is a better idea to cut and paste from command line output 
or a text file then show a screenshot. For the reason above and also 
because screenshots make it difficult for other users to cut and paste 
into their machines for testing/debugging purposes.

Back to the problem at hand. The error message only shows up in the 
section I quoted before with regards to locale handling on Macs.

Are you having any issues with starting Postgres outside of xcode?
