The two versions ignore each other unless they are both running :-)
The benefit of the enterprisedb version is that is ships a bunch of gui tools 
for starting, stoping and lets you set a password for postgres during 
installation.

If you get into a situation where you have to uninstall that version let me 
know as I have special instructions for that.

Once you attempt bootstraping you will run into a problem.
all *.conf files need to be modified slightly 

the # in front of #password in the section for the postgres password needs to 
be removed or it will not ask for the postgres password.

But as always the log will tell us. 

If you are a purist you can use the one from macports. I don't :-)

In case you missed that. For the time being you can test a master branch 
against the public database as there is now a v14 at salaam.
