Has anyone succesfully compiled PostgreSQL on MacOSX PB? If so, are there any packages available?

It's been in a work-in-progress stage for sometime, but unfortunately I haven't seen any production versions yet. There appears to be some system level issues that prevent PG to run on darwin/OS X.

For more info, search for 'postgresql' the darwin-development mailing list archive at darwinfo.org.

I think someone at apple got the top of tree CVS compiling on OS X a while ago... But to do it, he needed to implement SysV Semaphores, which are missing from the PB kernel (xnu 103). I think it should compile fine on Darwin 1.3 or, if you can be bothered, the current CVS version :-)

PostgreSQL for OS X can be downloaded here:
