hm, i have no problems to compile postgresql on snow leopard. all
linking defaults
to x86_64-architecture on my machine. you have probably installed
macports or
fink and build 32-libs on mac os x 10.5 before you upgraded to snow
leopard?
try removing all references to these 3rd-party libs and try compile
again.

it works out of the box on my machine: ./configure --enable-python
python 2.6 (delivered in snow leopard) is used and compiles without
any warning or
error.

yes.

i dont use dblink so i cant say if it is broken on my machine too.
