Recently decided to install PostgresSQL on my new MacBook Air - and yes it's a beauty - as I always like to have anR DMS handy.
The installer for v9.0 for OS X from Enterprise DB works pretty much OK - just make sure to create the postgres user before running the installer and follow the advice in the README to tweak the shared memory settings in /etc/sysctl.conf. That got me back to using vi by the way!
By default several daemons are installed to run at startup. Now OS X uses the launchd to manage starting and stopping daemons so managing startup requires using launchctl load/unload statements in /etc/launchd.conf. The full details are here.
If you want to avoid all this hassle, head over to the App Store and get yourself a copy of Peter Borg's Lingon application.Works fine for me under OS X Lion 10.7.
