Hey guys, thanks for the response and please forgive the lack of details. I was hell bent on figuring out what was wrong and I finally gave in, then posted to this forum.
Ok, Mr Morgan I'm not a huge fan of postgres (ergo i'm not familiar with it), so I was just tracking down exectuables scripts to find out which script started the db, hopefully seeing some error that made sense.
laullon thanks for the tip if all else fails i'll give that a shot.
johnmark i've posted the outputs you requested below. I read a similar post to this regarding the upgrade from 2.7.7-3.0.1 which resulted in having to delete blank or null table entries in the DB to make things work properly. however that was an upgrade, this is a fresh install. i've also posted the contents of the hqdb.log file, but to me the contents aren't that remarkable.
My system is a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9.
Oh wait, Duh now I see the problem. 10.3.9 is supported.
