Whoa. Hold it. First we need to find out what exactly the problem is Jim is 
referring to.

Second Jim already has PG built from source thriugh MacPorts

My assumption is that since I have recommended the enterprisedb version for 
GNUmed's local databases Jim is trying to install and use this for a local 
GNUmed database.

The mentioning of init.d makes me believe Jim used google to find out 
something about the status of pg (e.g. is it running, which clusters are up)

Jim will have to comment on what he is trying to do. Unless I am totally wrong 
and Jim wants to to some PG development which would warrant an installation 
from source (maybe not since MacPorts version is already installed :-)
