I have php running, and I have postgres running. I compiled php from the source --with-pgsql-dir=/Users/Shared/PostgreSQL

But somehow, the php extension pgsql.so was not created or does not exist.

I'm just looking for any tips on how to get around this. Is there somewhere I can download pgsql.so, or can a get a precompiled php with dmg that works out of the box?

I have no pgsql.so library and my PHP works just fine. I have a $PHP_HOME/lib/php/DB/pgsql.php file but I think that come with every PHP installation. The --with-pgsql directive you quoted is the only requirement of which I'm aware. Did you copy your newly compiled libphp4.so library to the /usr/libexec/httpd directory? To make sure that it isn't just your syntax, you could install phpPgAdmin, which works for me. Anyway, I apologize for not having more to suggest but I wanted to steer you away from worrying about a pgsql.so library.

The php from entropy includes postgres precompiled in. You can get it here:

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

It includes all the most popular modules compiled in, including MySQL and PostgreSQL.
