Hello,

I am using my OS-X iBook as a devlopment platform and I have recently installed the combination Plone/Zope install.. I'm hoping to use this install with Postgres, but there are several installation options..

There is a OS-X 'package' (which comes off the Postgres official site) and.. There is a Fink package (which is basically a OSX version of a Debian package) or.. I could insall Posgres from source..

The primary reason for installing Postgres is to use it with Zope, so ease of interfacing the two is my main concern, since I've had problems getting Psycopg to do this in the past..

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes - install postgres from scratch. I had problems with several packages and with the fink version (it conflicted with another CMS I use, Bricolage). I built postgres on my mac using pointers from David Wheeler's (not the gravitational physicist, but the perl coder) pages for Bricolage. When I switched back to Zope, I used that same install for development. I also installed the psycopg database adaptor (which rocks) on my mac. http://david.wheeler.net/osx.html Here's apple's doc on it: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/postgres.html but I didn't do it that way... and here's what I did to install psycopg on mac os x: http://extranet.adytumsolutions.com/documentation/cms/zope/psycopg_macosx Hope that helps!
