    I am trying to install the PostgreSql83 server on my iMac running Snow Leopard. About halfway through the install all of the sudo commands in terminal are now saying "command not found" what the heck happened? How can I fix it?

    thanks

    Check /usr/bin.

    Do you see sudo there? If it's not, there's a number of things you could do I guess. Reinstall whatever from Apple. Or what I would probably do, just grab it and try to build myself.

    Oh there's also Macports. It's purpose is to make installing stuff like this easier.
