Alex,
You might check the Fink mailing list, i believe this has been talked
about but I cant remember which mail list. But I believe Fink
installs postgresql just fine on 10.1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink
I might have also see the discussion on the Darwin mail list.
http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-development/2001/Sep/19.html
has something like:
simply add -flat_namespace to the LDFLAGS.
And later on the same page are the patches to make it work.
