I have now tried at least 7 different install methods to get pg up and running 
on Lion. I fear that my system is now thoroughly inoculated and will never be 
able to run postgres/postgis.

I started with the pg mac installer / stack builder. That worked to get pg 
installed, but could not get postgis installed.

I've now tried two different instructions using MacPort, Two using homebrew, 
and two using some-other-macport-homebrew-like method.

NONE of them worked for me. I can see postgress running from the last install:

But continue to see this when using psql:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Hummmm... are you using the apple psql?
Lion comes with its own copy of psql. I have many problem (access rights) with it.
Try using psql that come with your postgres installation.


Is there anyone who has ever successfully gotten postgres/postGIS running on 
Mac Lion? Really? How?
I am using (compiling from surce) Postgres 8.4 and postgis 1.5 (latest versions). 8.4 because I have 8.4 on my server.
Compile postgres is a no-problem operation.
Compile postgis is not so easy because it needs some libraries.


Is there a way to purge my system of all of the corrupted/bad installs and 
start over? How?
I think that depends on you installation, I have all data in /var/database and simply removing that I have a clean system.


How do I get pgadmin if I use homebrew/macports etc?
Maybe that I didn't understand. simply download it from http://www.pgadmin.org/download/macosx.php
