The file you downloaded is probably corrupt. I am not a Mac expert but tar would have unpacked it if it was good.

tar -zxvf  postgresql-8.4.1.tar.gz

tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

 

THis is very  strange to me!

 

The file I'm using came from source forge.

 

Any hints about this installation is greatly appreciated.

P.S. The app that will using postgresql is written in python.
