Re: 7.3 on OS X HOWTO

Since I build my pgsql on Linux direct from sources, I'd like my OS X
machine to be the same way, that's why I don't want to use fink...

So I guess I need to go hunting for the fink patches that are out there...

Compiling pgsql --without-readline on OS X didn't work for me... Got a
symbol error during make. I assumed that the OS X build still required other
patches...
