If you're interested in building from source, you probably don't want to be looking in the binaries directory :) postgresql-7.4.5.tar.gz is the full source, iirc. If you'd like a package for Mac OS X, check out Mark Liyanage's package at www.entropy.ch http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ Last I checked, the package was for v7.4.3. I'm sure he'll get around to updating it. However, 7.4.5 is definitely what you'll want, as it includes some critical bug-fixes. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

Man, I can't believe I actually wrote that! Where's that "withdraw mail" button :p I went to look for a MacOS binary (package) in the binary folder but finding none opened the source folder in the background (another window). 15 minutes and a coffee break later, I mistook the contents of the binary folder as the source one and didn't even notice that while I was posting (pasting)... What was I thinking (or not) !!! :) Of course looking at /postgresql/source/v7.4.5/ (/ is okay btw) I know what to get ;) > If you'd like a package for Mac OS X, check out Mark Liyanage's package > at www.entropy.ch > http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ > Last I checked, the package was for v7.4.3.
