Similar problem here, can't get latest v1.8.0 it to launch on Mac OSX
10.5, the icon bounces a few times and the pgAdmin3 name appears in
the menu bar but nothing else, I then have to force quit.

This is on a PPC Powermac G5, whereas same OS and pgAdmin version on
an Intel MacBook Pro works perfectly.

I'm in the process of procuring some new kit to test on Leopard with.
Please bear with me...

Same behaviour I'm afraid, still won't open.

OK, thanks. I should be able to test on Leopard in a few days so I'll
come back to it then.

Yay, that worked fine for me as well! How will the renaming of pg_dump
affect the usage of PostgreSQL? I renamed one in /usr/local/bin/ and one in
pgAdmin 1.8 and 1.9 respectively. Is there any risk that some automated
process in another part of pgAdmin or PostgreSQL will fail since this file
cannot be found?

pgAdmin won't fail - though it will probably not offer you
backup/restore options.

pg_dumpall will fail in PostgreSQL though, as might any cron jobs oyu
have calling pg_dump.

One workaround that should work would be to create a shell script called
that echoes the same text as output from 'pg_dump --version' and point
pgAdmin's PostgreSQL Bin Dir config option (under File -> Options) to
the directory containing the script. That should fool pgAdmin into using
the shell script for backups (which won't work, but won't hang either),
which will cause it to leave the real pg_dump alone.

Regards, Dave.

OK, can you put pg_dump back and try this version please?
