I have worked around this by adding the postgres user by hand: sudo dscl . -create /users/postgres sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/pgsql/data sudo chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data sudo dscl . -passwd /users/postgres <pw> su postgres chmod 755 /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/initdb su postgres /Library/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
(There is a predefined user in OS X Lion: "_postgres" but that's not the one the installer is expecting... ) -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/BUG-6120-Problem-running-post-install-step-in-Mac-OS-X-Lion-GM-tp4598104p4665117.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
