Обсуждение: 8.0 install via fink on OS X, now what?
Hi gang, Now finally getting comfortable on the new PowerBook, and after weeks of whining about no OS X packages I discovered the fink binaries, which I dutifully installed last night. However I have no idea where I am in the install process afterwards, as there is no 'postgres' user and such - and in fact cannot start the database with pg_ctl. Is there a place where I can read about the fink-specific vagaries of this distribution? -- Mitch

Bad idea. They are normally old, install in stupid locations, are not very well documented on what, how and where they install. It is better (and easy enough) to install from source. Only thing you need are the Xcode Tools from Apple. If you really need a package, send me a mail, I have a package somewhere (8.1.3) or I can build a 8.1.4 installer package. A very good installation tutorial is here: http://home.exetel.com.au/lachlandeck/blog/?p=7 cug
Are there any known issues related to compiling for OS X on Intel?

None. Using postgresql 8.1.3 on my Intel MacBook right now. Works great. ____________________________________________________________________ Brendan Duddridge | CTO | 403-277-5591 x24 | brendan@clickspace.com ClickSpace Interactive Inc.
