Re: [Solution] PG 7.1.3 & MacOS X (10.1)

Hi Russ,

Your pages certainly helped - it did the trick - I'm now running
PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on my PowerBook! Excellent! My next project is to
get the GDLIB to compile here and to get a Tk/Tcl package installed -
I need the one for image upload/manipulation and the other for pgMail
to work ...

Thank you very much for the help.

Best regards,
Chris.
