Re: Mac OsX

Hi Glenn,

You can download a PostgreSQL v7.3.0 binary from

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/

Or v7.3.1 compiles out of the box from source. I haven't yet tried v7.3.2,
although I doubt there will be too much trouble.

Also v7.3.1 can be installed using fink now also

http://fink.sourceforge.net

I have been using it on 10.1/jaguar with no bother for months now.

Cheers

adam
