I am running 10.5, on a MacPro. Postgres version 8.3.1 and got it from
macports.

A bit ago, in my many attempts to get postgres & postgis running on
10.5, I added this to the .bash_profile:

adding to .bash_profile:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG
export PATH="/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin:$PATH"

And then, something which didn't work before, did work finally. But I
am not eager to try it out now, because I am happy enough that my
postgres&postgis is finally running...
