Better check exactly what's laying around already on that : machine. Apple does ship some version of Postgres in OS X IIRC... That could very well be. I've been installing a couple of versions over one another, since I couldn't get them to work for various reasons and because gnu software doesn't have a 'make deinstall'. How can I remove all the cruft from a previous version? And where is pg_hba.conf? Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.
