I'm currently trying to compile PostgreSQL on MacOS X Public Beta. If anyone has managed this or has any tips please contact me.

I've compiled/used PostgreSQL on Solaris. I'd love to see PostgreSQL running OS X (remember that unlike MySQL, PostgreSQL is free for commercial use).

The reason I personally haven't compiled it under OS X is because I don't have the developer CD (the tools will be download'able in mid-October).

What kind of problems are you having?

Has anyone got PostgreSQL going on Mac OS X yet? I've spent a lot of hours searching for a way to make this happen.

Currently, I'm having a problem with configure. It can't figure out what kind of host it's on. config.guess doesn't return a usable host name, and configure bails out.

PostgreSQL should work fine on this box, but I just don't know the magic word.

I was reading through a few posts on the OmniGroup OS X lists and it looks like they're working on it for 7.1 - the latest source recognises darwin, but is still barfing midway through the compile.

There's more to it than just getting it to configure, ya know :-)

this just in:
I think that Peter Bierman of Apple has recently completed some patches that
should be checked into CVS soon...

Those patches will allow Postgres to build. I followed their discussion on
the postgres-hackers list...

It looks like the one on Stepwise is 7.1 beta. I just downloaded the official release of 7.1 (released April 13th) and did
./configure
make
and all compiled cleanly, we'll see how the install and useability goes.

It's fine. It passes all the tests, if you notice.

Also, just a general note: BE VERY WEARY OF .PKG INSTALLERS. Read stepwise to find out why, if you don't already know.
