I tried to install postgres onto my macbook via 'fink' and don't
like it all that much.
I decided to install from source, it's a fallback to my slackware
days.
But fink already created a user postgres and I can't seem to find
anything to change it's configuration settings for shell, home
director...
If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.
Also, does anyone know of a more current installation write-up for
Mac other than what Apple provides? It's written around 7.4 and
I'm not sure it's going to be optimal.
Personally, I use the PG package available on http://www.entropy.ch/
software/macosx/postgresql/. It worked flawlessly, set up initdb, and
configured PG to start at boot time.
Thanks,
