IIRC postgres is even part of Mac OS X.

I don't think it's a standard part of OS X. I think it comes with Apple
Remote Desktop, and it might be in the Server edition, but it's not a
part of the standard version.

You'll probably need to install fink or darwinports also if you're
building from source. I have successfully built PostgreSQL 8.0.1
recently in my Mac OS X box. Building PostgreSQL in different
platforms has become one of my hobbies :) so if you need help just let
me know.

Sure, assuming your iMac is running OS X. You'll need to install
Apple's free developer tools to compile it or perhaps you might want
to use one of the freely available installers such as:

Ok ;) But at least we can state "it runs" ;)

Please tell me if Postgresql runns in an iMac.

If you're on OS X, sure. I'd recommend installing darwinports
(http://darwinports.opendarwin.org), which makes downloading and
compiling as easy as that:

sudo port install postgresql8

darwinports also features several modules for accessing postgresql, I
use psycopg for Python.
On my machine, a 'not-too-current' Powerbook, the combo runs without
any problems.

best regards,
Christoph

Actually, I think everything you need is there without fink or
darwinports (unless you consider readline essential). I regularly use

./configure --without-readline

which gives an install that can be copied to other machines without
changes.

No need to play with fink or darwinports. 8.0.1 builds from source (at
least in a fairly vanilla configuration) on stock OS X 10.3 with the
apple developer tools installed.

Cheers,

True. Apple even has a page with installation instructions:

I don't know if it exists on 10.3.6 or 10.3.7 (the current version). I
submitted a bug report to Apple many months ago, but it has not seen
any activity yet.

[ tries it... ] Yup, still there in 10.3.7.
