Please, don't confuse me with the facts. :-) Seriously, that does help. I no longer have a clean installation of Lion client for reference, but I do recall copying /usr/bin/postgres from machines with Lion Server. That file, though, is just a small Ruby script that uses wait4path to wait for the data directory to be mounted before calling postgres_real. There is a launchd file at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist, but it specifies /usr/bin/postgres. You can copy that to /Library/LaunchDaemons and edit the path, or symlink it to postgres_real. E.g.,
$ sudo ln -s postgres_real /usr/bin/postgres It should load automatically on reboot, or it can be started with: $ sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist Aaron On Mar 22, 2012, at 7:27 AM, Axel Luttgens <[email protected]> wrote: > Le 22 mars 2012 à 10:59, Aaron Burghardt a écrit : > >> Apple shipped the PostgreSQL client libraries and related files in Lion.
