Re: BUG #6721: installation of PostgreSQL prevented WebServer Start

Hi Dave,

my distribution comes from

http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#osx.

meanwhile we installed Postgres 8.4.12
and changed the link from /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib to /usr/lib/libpq.5.3.dylib
and both, postgeSQL and Webserver are working.

Is it a good Idea to change to PostgreSQL 9.1.x?

Where did your PostgreSQL distribution come from? The EDB installers certainly won't delete the system libpq, or upgrade the system's copy of libssl.dylib (unless you install it in the root directory of course, which is definitely not recommended!)
