Sure, assuming your iMac is running OS X. You'll need to install
Apple's free developer tools to compile it or perhaps you might want to
use one of the freely available installers such as:

IIRC postgres is even part of Mac OS X.
(perhaps not the latest version)

You'll probably need to install fink or darwinports also if you're
building from source. I have successfully built PostgreSQL 8.0.1
recently in my Mac OS X box.  Building PostgreSQL in different
platforms has become one of my hobbies :) so if you need help just let
me know.

Ok ;) But at least we can state "it runs" ;)

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.

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.

True. Apple even has a page with installation instructions:

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.
