I think the hitch is something on my machine( an old Intel Core Duo)
MacBook Pro. When I do a :
dscl . -list /Groups PrimaryGroupID | awk '{print $2 $1}' | sort -n
I get
-2nobody
-1nogroup
0wheel
UsersPostgreSQL <------------- Looks strange to me! Should it be
removed? THis is after previous installation is removed and I've
just done a new 'sudo make install'.
1daemon
2kmem
3sys
4tty
5operator
When I use the
sudo dseditgroup -o create -i 103 -r "PostgreSQL Users" postgres
I get
Create called on existing record - do you want to overwrite, y or n :
In this case 103 should be avaliable as it's not in either Users
Unique ID or in Groups Primary ID
No matter which avaliable number I choose I still get the same
response and any createdb attempt results in a bus error!
