Macports, Postgresql 9, Lion and su: no directory
In the off chance you’re getting the following message while attempting to install postgresql on your mac running lion.
su: no directory
when running this command
‘sudo su - postgres’
after you’ve installed postgresql server via macports and initialized the database, etc. What worked for me is uninstalling postgresql server, running the following command and then restarting my machine
sudo dscl . -delete /Users/_postgres
After reboot, went through the same exact motions for installing postgresql server on my machine and everything went as expected.
