I don't think it's a standard part of OS X. I think it comes with Apple Remote Desktop, and it might be in the Server edition, but it's not a part of the standard version. -tfo -- Thomas F.

>Please tell me if Postgresql runns in an iMac. If you're on OS X, sure. I'd recommend installing darwinports (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org), which makes downloading and compiling as easy as that: sudo port install postgresql8 darwinports also features several modules for accessing postgresql, I use psycopg for Python. On my machine, a 'not-too-current' Powerbook, the combo runs without any problems. best regards, Christoph

Actually, I think everything you need is there without fink or darwinports (unless you consider readline essential). I regularly use ./configure --without-readline which gives an install that can be copied to other machines without changes. John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL

No need to play with fink or darwinports. 8.0.1 builds from source (at least in a fairly vanilla configuration) on stock OS X 10.3 with the apple developer tools installed. Cheers, Steve
True. Apple even has a page with installation instructions: http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html -tfo -- Thomas F.

Watch out for the memory leak bug on OS 10.3.2 though 10.3.5 (this is apparently an OS X bug, not a Postgres bug): http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-08/msg00972.php I don't know if it exists on 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 (the current version). I submitted a bug report to Apple many months ago, but it has not seen any activity yet.
