I was able to get it working.
I installed fink and then pulled in the dbd-pg module in from that.
DBI and DBD::Pg work great.
I do not have a user command line psql.
but right now I'm not sure if I really need it.
I think the right answer is to eventually just install postgresql and
not start the database.

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?
