This will be updated as I go through the process. First, download the distribution from postgresql.org. Then expand it somewhere. The only prereq that I know of is readline, which fink installs really early.
Then, configure:
./configure –with-python –with-rendezvous –enable-thread-safety –with-libs=/sw/lib –with-includes=/sw/include –bindir=/usr/local/bin –mandir=/usr/local/share/man –enable-recode –enable-syslog –enable-unicode-conversion –enable-multibyte
Then make.
Then sudo make install.
Then create a user called postgres.
Then give the installation to that user:
sudo chown -R postgres /usr/local/pgsql
