What is the best way to install PostgreSQL on Mac OS X 10.5.1?
Or, perhaps I should ask is there a preferred way to PostgreSQL on
Mac OS X?
Is a disk image installer fine? Or, is it better to compile all the
components?
I've always installed from source and I've never been sorry. Haven't
tried it on Leopard yet though. There's no reason to believe that the
various binary installers should be worse than a source install, but
since I've never tried them I really can't tell.
Compiling from source is a good way to get to know both your OS and
Postgres better.
