After updating to 10.6.1 this morning the postgresql 8.3 server (from
a macports installation) refuses to start.
It's stops with the message
"FATAL: incorrect checksum in control file"
Yesterday I was running postgresql server successfully the whole day
under 10.6 with no problems at all. I upgrade the postgresql
installation this morning to the 8.3. security update. This is all on
a MacBook5,1 which can only run the kernel in 32bit-mode.
Can it be that the Mac OS X 10.6.1 updated some library in the system
which caused an architecture change in postgres?
