[postgis-users] OSX PostGIS 9.1 installer not working

[William Kyngesburye]

If you are installing my PostGIS, it requires my Postgres package, the one that is installed in /usr/local/pgsql-9.x.  I don't support Postgres installed in /Library (I think that's the "official" postgres) or Apple's in /usr (new in Lion).

Note that I also have an 8.4 install running also (8.4 runs on the default port 5432, and the v9.1 instance runs on port 5433).  I've tried stopping the 8.4 service and starting the 9.1 instance on the default port, but I still get the error.

I don't have this file (or even this directory) on my machine,  but I do have "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/lib/libpq.5.4.dylib", if that matters, and it does appear that my postgresql 9.1 installation is working (i'm able to connect, create tables, etc.).
