OS X Lion is not yet supported (it's not even released yet). If you
send the installation log, we can probably figure out what went wrong
though.

Thanks. I think it's pretty safe to say I'm not going to be able to do
much with this until I get my hands on a copy of Lion I'm afraid. The
log shows some unexpected output, particularly:

----
Executing /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/installer/server/createuser.sh
"postgres" "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.0"
Script exit code: 0

Script output:
 User account 'postgres' already exists

Script stderr:
 su: unknown login: postgres

I have worked around this by adding the postgres user by hand:

sudo dscl . -create /users/postgres
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/data
sudo chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
sudo dscl . -passwd /users/postgres <pw>
su postgres chmod 755 /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/initdb
su postgres /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

(There is a predefined user in OS X Lion: "_postgres" but that's not the one
the installer is expecting... )

Thanks for the help with the adding the user...
When I try to set up a new server with pgAdmin3 I get the message "Postgres
not listening".
What are the next steps to get Postgresql running a database?


We at our firm never expected that postgresql installer would be deprecated
this long....

You must to do some modifications on User Accounts on your mac:

1. Open User preferences after from Postgres Instalation
2. Rename user PostgresSQL to postgres
3. Enable the administrator permisions.
4. Execute newly the Postgres instaler.
