I tried to use Adam's directions and to compile postgres from source, but I wasn't able to do so. I kept encountering this error:
<pre>
tab-complete.c:2103: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make[3]: *** [tab-complete.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
</pre>
Instead, I used [http://www.macports.org/ macports]. It seemed to work quite well, but I haven't been able to test it with actual GIS data yet, so I'll update this as soon as I do. Here's my installation procedure:
# Install macports
# Add ''/opt/local/bin'' to ''/etc/paths''
# ''sudo port install postgresql83-server postgresql83 postgresql83-doc''
# Add ''/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin'' to ''/etc/paths''
# ''sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postgresql83-server.plist'' (this command was listed in the post-installation messages for postgres, and it makes postgres start on boot)
# ''sudo port install proj @4.6.1''
# ''sudo port install geos''
# However, I did install postgis from source, because the latest rev wasn't available as a package:
''./configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgis-1.3.5 --with-proj=/opt/local --with-pgsql=/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/pg_config --with-geos=/opt/local/bin/geos-config''
''make''
''sudo make install''
# Add ''/usr/local/postgis-1.3.5/bin'' to ''/etc/paths''
# initialize a database directory in $PGDATA, with a default character encoding of UTF-8 and a root db user with the same name as our login name (I just specified the root user id, since I wasn't sure what value `whoami` would return if the command was being run by root su-ing to the postgres user: ''sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/initdb -U eos8d -E UTF-8 -W -D /usr/local/pgsql/data' ''
# Start that database: ''sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start' ''
# Run tests in postgis src directory: ''make check" My output looked like this:
<pre>
paz:postgis-1.3.5 eos8d$ make check
make -C regress test

So it looks like everything worked, but I'll let the group know and update this page if I find out otherwise.
