Tom,
This is probably not the best forum for this question. The intended
audience are users of MacPerl on OS 9 ("Classic"), and the list is
pretty moribund.
Try [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( I know it's active) or dbdpg-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (from the DBD-Pg 1.49 README).
I've got DBD::Pg running on my G5, but I also did a full install of
postgres, and I don't have a detailed record of what I did. I have a
new Intel MacBook Pro, on which I am planning to install DBI and
DBD::Pg, but I haven't done it yet and I don't have time tonight.
I'll let you know how that goes, but I probably won't get to it until
this weekend.
I'm confident it's doable. Sorry I can't be of more specific help
right now.
good luck,
Chris

I have installed the following today:
Xcode (gcc & make)
DBI
Bundle::CPAN
from CPAN. This also included YAML.
and Fink & MacPorts -- but nothing else from these.
I also have found that pgsql is already on the notebook and works
correctly.
I also found the pg_config file in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/bin/
pg_config
But when I put this in for my path to pg_config I get the following
(YAML?) related error immediately afterwards.:
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

And it spews a few dozen more lines that I truncated.
I'm not sure what I need to do at this point. There isn't anything
here that says the problem is the postgresql libraries or anything
like that. Rather a YAML issue.
The funny thing is the claim that the Parser is a 1.0 parser when
*I* think it's the most up to date available (which is version
0.67) so I'm not in the right point of reference on the version.
I'm really hoping I can get this working soon.
It's kind of killing my progress and whole point of getting a MacBook.
Help?
