Обсуждение: Install 8.1 on Mac OS 10.4

I'm trying to compile postgresql 8.1 on my powerbook, mac os 10.4.  Can't
seem to get the ./configure script to run correctly.  Config.log shows that
there is an error when trying to run the gcc compiler.   It looks like the
postgres configure script tries to configure some base directories and is
appending "</dev/null >&5" to any gcc commands.  My config.log is attached.

The configure script looks like greek to me.  Any ideas as to how to fix
this?

Hello Viva,

Here's a good tutorial on installing PostgreSQL on Tiger:

I'm running PostgreSQL 8.1 on my PowerBook right now. I had no issues
with the configure script when following the above instructions.

You've got a pretty broken compiler installation AFAICS.  Does it work
for any other purpose?

Postgres does build out-of-the-box on OS X, as long as you have a sane
set of developer tools installed.  IIRC, OS X 10.4 requires at least
Xcode 2.0, and 2.1 is probably a better idea.  If you've upgraded from
10.3 or earlier you may have obsolete Xcode files.  Try downloading the
latest Xcode, wiping your current Xcode installation, and installing
fresh.
