Hi, As part of updating qt3 from version 3.2 to version 3.3, I'm trying to install postgresql74-ssl. It built fine, but it won't install.
The first time, I got this: dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/postgresql74-ssl-dev_7.4.5-11_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/postgresql74-ssl_7.4.5-11_darwin-powerpc.deb /sw/fink/dists/unstable/crypto/binary-darwin-powerpc/postgresql74-ssl-shlibs_7.4.5-11_darwin-powerpc.deb Selecting previously deselected package postgresql74-ssl-dev. (Reading database ... 71246 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking postgresql74-ssl-dev (from .../postgresql74-ssl-dev_7.4.5-11_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

So I did this: $ (unset LC_ALL; LANG=C fink install postgresql74-ssl-shlibs postgresql74-ssl postgresql74-ssl-dev) and everything went swimmingly. Now, however, I can't get the database to start. When I follow the instructions in the info file (I have to play the same game LC_ALL and LANG), I get this: $ (unset LC_ALL; LANG=C sudo -u postgres postmaster) postmaster does not know where to find the database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable. Okay, so following the trail to /sw/bin/pgsql.sh, I tried this: $ (unset LC_ALL; LANG=C PGDATA=/sw/var/postgresql-7.4/data sudo -u postgres postmaster) which works, but now the server is running attached to my terminal. I can run "pgsql.sh start" from a terminal (as root or otherwise), and it *says* that it started postmaster, but pstree says otherwise. Strangely, "pgsql.sh stop" will stop the server when it is running in my terminal. When I tried the daemonic route, the database still wouldn't start, but I do get a line in /var/log/system.log that indicates that daemonic did try to start the database: Oct 23 12:16:06 Graviton SystemStarter: Unable to load localization strings for /Library/StartupItems/daemonic-postgresql74-ssl Oct 23 12:16:06 Graviton SystemStarter: Starting PostgreSQL database server FWIW, I can now proceed with my original adventure, updating qt3 and eventually kde. :-/ Any ideas on how to get postgresql to run?
