Sorry, I neglected to say, I have Postgresql running. The problem was the
initial means of running it. Unlike the Macports documentation,
sudo
/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql90-server/postgresql90-server.wrapper
start
…did the trick. My current problem is figuring out how to get PostGIS
integrated/working and/or the template_postgis thing working (since it appears
I need that to create spatial databases).
