A lot of these issues may not be Postgres, but here are the problems
I ran into in the configure stage with the b3 version.
Can't use kerberos 5 "error: library com_err is required for Kerberos
5" There is such a library and a man page for such a routine. If
you create a 3-line dummey program to reference com_err() and use
-lcom_err then you get some funny unresolved external reference by
way of the kerberos 5 framework (which I never asked for). I'm not
sure if this is a real problem in Apple's framework mechanism or a
funny in the way configure and I are checking for the existence of
the routine.
Can't use openssl because there is no ssl.h file. This is an old
10.0 bug that I would have hoped was fixed by now. It does mean I
can't test the openssl integration until I re-fix it though.
Can't use tk. I loaded the alpha release of the native Aqua Tk port.
It gets me a Wish Shell.app, not a /usr/bin/wish. This seems
reasonable, but how do we get Postgres to use it? Can Postgres use
it?
The Tcl header files are in two different non-standard places. I had
to sudo ln -s to get links all in one directory since it appears you
can only have one --with-includes configure option. At least the 8.4
alpha includes the headers since the 8.3 with 10.0 didn't.
