did you install the developers package? It's a couple hundred meg download from apples site.

Can't help you with the compiler, but if it's just postgresql you want, download a pre-compiled installer-package from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/

I like seeing old threads revived now and then. It means someone remembered to use the search feature.

All I have to add to this thread, for anyone else searching, is that the developer tools are also included on every Mac OS X installation disc. You can get newer versions from Apple's web site, but the downloads are very large (almost a gigabyte now, IIRC), so that might not be practical.
