Re: [Gnumed-devel] GNUmed - on Mac OS X for real
Dave, even if you have postgres already installed, a machine's
ability to run a GNUmed server will depend on the machine *also*
having installed additional dependencies which, in the case of
Debian, (*)buntu, SuSE and Mandriva are taken care-of by the
net_install, whereas the installation of these additional
dependencies on a Mac have not yet been scripted.
It is to the aforementioned net_install script that Karsten was
referring when he wrote "we'd be happy to integrate... MacOSX"
prompting Sebastian's counterpoint of whether the extra dependencies
(plus Postgres) are best installed a "server Mac" by use of the gui
packages.
Maybe for *limited* testing of the server (as opposed to a
production environment) not all of the following Debian list are
needed by Mac OS X?
gnumed-common postgresql postgresql-client cron anacron tar
hostname coreutils mailx openssl bzip2 gnupg mc rsync python-psycopg2
This full list is pointed-to by the "here" link at

at the end of the section "generic Linux and MacOSX: local install"

I just install the database ?

any suggestions you might have regarding dependancy
handling on MacOSX.
This is a hot topic. I would not want to touch this. There are
(too ?) many
options to do this cleanly. One can install PostgreSQL via a nice
GUI. There
are options to do this more Unix-like through fink and
darwinports. The later
two are pretty much software repositories.
For a sever administrator which handles OSX servers they might be
a good
option but for end users which will most likely not get the
darwinports stuff
installed and use the gui installer version that might cause
trouble.
On MacOSX it is easy to loose track of where stuff gets installed
because most
stuff doesn't get installed at all but rather dropped some place
in a virtual
disk image.
I installed everything via the gui packages (postgresql, psycopg2)
and it
works just fine.
