Thread: pgadmin3 on macOS "Mojave"
Hello,
I recently upgraded my Mac to the latest version of macOS. Now, when I run pgadmin3, I get a message that it needs to be recompiled, apparently for 64bit.
Is there a plan to rebuild pgadmin3 for macOS Mojave?
I know you’re rather bullish on #4, but it still isn’t up the the usability and usefullness of pgadmin3. It would be great to have the working pgadmin rebuilt for 64 bits while we wait for #4 to mature.
(And, yes, pgadmin3 is indeed getting a bit long in the tooth, but it is still vastly more performant, and a much better UI than pgdamin4. #4 is pretty, though.)

+1 - thanks for the heads-up, Bill. I was just about to upgrade, but I guess I’ll hold off until they respond to this request.On Nov 5, 2018, at 8:50 AM, Bill Evans <bill@literacybridge.org> wrote:Hello,I recently upgraded my Mac to the latest version of macOS.

One addition:
- Pgadmin3 works fine on macOS Mojave. But it will not run at all on some future version of macOS. Safe to upgrade; the message is annoying at worst. (But it is a bit annoying.)
Best,

Mojave is just saying that the NEXT MacOS version coming out in a year will require 64bit apps. This is a nag. But if you want to keep using PgAdmin3, Apple will still be releasing security updates for Mojave for the next 3 years so you have that long to still be fully patched with it. -- Darren Duncan On 2018-11-05 8:50 AM, Bill Evans wrote: > Hello, > > I recently upgraded my Mac to the latest version of macOS.

well. where there is a will, there is a way.Pgadmin 3 is open sourcethe people over a tbigSQL have compiled it for Postgres 10 — and so most of the error messages srtrting the legacy pagadmin 3.2 have been taken out of it.It doesn’t work for postgres 11 - since the libpq.dll is probably too old,.anyway, I’ve been using that ,for months, along with pgadmin 4.its a little harder to find it on the bigsql web site — I don’t use their postgres distribution (I use enterprize db’s).but it work on mojave, no error messages. Its not 64 bit, but at this time, who cares.Its just nice that it works with postgres 10.
