[Qgis-user] Postgres dependency on mac build

[John Abraham]

Thanks for the hint.  I can't see a difference (svn diff) between the  
two cmake directories.

I tried deleting my build directory, and redoing the cmake command  
with -D POSTGRES_CONFIG=/usr/local/pgsql/  and it responded

-- Found PostgreSQL: sh: /usr/local/pgsql: is a directory/libpq.dylib

but then I got the same error (below) when I ran make :(
