The easiest way to determine if PostgreSQL is running is to use
Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). Look for a process
named postgres.

8.0 is fairly old, so if that is the latest on Fink you should look
elsewhere. If you are new to PostgreSQL, there is no reason to start
with an old version.

You can find a Mac PostgreSQL installer here with some admin tools:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgsqlformac/

It appears to have been updated recently with the latest version of
PostgreSQL.
