I'm not sure I understand: I don't see DBI.jl nor PostgreSQL.jl at 
pkg.julialang.org, which tells me they aren't officially registered as 
packages. The difficulties you're seeing then aren't that surprising because 
they haven't felt comfortable enough to officially register.

ODBC actually works fine on Linux/OSX through the unixODBC library. It can be 
installed through a variety of means, but works quite well from what I've seen. 
Postgres is actually next on my list to test with ODBC (so far the testing has 
focused
 on Teradata, SQL Server, and MySQL), so if I find time in the next few days, 
I'll try to put together an example and share it here.
