DaVinci Resolve Lite Installation error

[John Michaels]

[Daniel Dobie] “Do i need a external ultrastudio thunderbolt card to install this software or i can use it with neither of blackmagic design hardware or with any other hardware at all ? “

No, you should be able to at least install the software with your current setup. Is there anything relevant written to Console?

First i would like to thank you for the fast reply.

From the second section you posted:

23/04/12 09:37:26,395 com.apple.launchd: (com.edb.launchd.postgresql-8.4[53004]) getpwnam("postgres") failed

That looks like a problem with your PostgreSQL database. If you aren’t using PostgreSQL with anything else (you’d probably know if you were), try completely removing the current installation so Resolve can do a fresh one.

Try following these steps to remove the current database. I don’t have a Mac so I can’t confirm this works, but as a Linux-y person, it looks like this should do the trick.

[Daniel Dobie]

I just followed the instructions and removed the postgreSQL database but i still can’t install the software…

Might I add that the postgreSQL error is a database hickup. The problem i’m having is with the actual installation of the resolve lite software. Maybe i’ll try reinstalling my OS X systemdrive as suggested by one of the davinci support team. Will post here if it’ll succeed or not.

Before you do that. If you’re running lion you might want to boot into the recovery partition and run repair permission on your drive until you get an all clear. And then try installing.

I did as you posted i did a permissions repair on the system drive and it didn’t solved my issue.

Yesterday i reinstalled my system and everything works now, no database issues and the application installed just fine.

Thanks for the help fellas and I want to thank Dwaine from Blackmagic help team for helping me.
