If there is a crash then check for a crashlog (Console.app). It may be a problem with postgis handling bad data, or it may be as simple as a library linking issue.

Cheers William,

thanks for your engagement!

I sent you an email a couple of days ago, which showed the same problems as we had before. Generally, I would say that it always comes down to the same thing: The postgres server craches when importing/restoring dumped tables with geometries.

It just comes to my mind, that, perhaps, it's not a problem of postgres/postgis installation, but a problem of the tables within the (old) database, which i try to import?! I should try (tomorrow) to import a couple of "known" shapefiles, as the ones delivered with the ESRI stuff for example...

Thanks for your input guys, I will try, with new motivation, to get my beast running tomorrow morning...

Hi Stefan,

Last time we talked you were having problems with the confusion of the postgres system user and postgres role and the automatic startup of postgres.

I'd like to get it working for you, so don't give up yet.

Is there any chance that this subject (for 10.5) has been solved? Any suggestions? I used the macports to install postgres (8.2) and postgis (1.3.1)...


I would, after all the experiences I went through, ask the question slightly different... :

Can anybody give me installation instructions on how to install postgres & postgis on Leopard (with a MacPro)? Either by hand- compiling or with MacPorts? Or some other stuff? Strange enough, even the kyngchaos libs didn't work, even after having completely re-installed my machine...

Thanks thousand times for any such advice!

Stef
