It's cool to see the postgresql community grow on the mac.
the screenshot of the gui-tools look nice, and I'd really like to try them. But: I have pgsql 8.0 already compiled and installed in /usr/local/pgsql/. Starting any of the Client Tools fails, all crash because they don't find /Library/PostgreSQL8/lib/libpq.3.dylib. (yeah, I didn't install the complete package as I already have pgsql compiled and installed...)
So the following questions rise:
Is it possible to compile the apps without embedding the full path to the lib? I have that libpq.3.dylib already, but at another place (/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.3.dylib).
Is source-code available to compile it myself (at least try to compile it ;-) ) using the different file locations?
I could have posted that as bug report, but I decided against it 'cause if I had installed your whole package, I'd have no problems running the tools. But I think the acceptance would be even bigger if people already using postgresql on mac could use your tools while still using their own pgsql-binary.
cheers,

The code is now checked into CVS. In addition, 8.0.1c will resolve this issue.
The Client Tools package has been updated to no longer depend upon libpq.dylib and the pkg is now in the downloads list.
