    ...I'm really wrestling with this too. Sonoma 14.3.1

    Was able to install postgre through DIM, 64-bit. Tried to wipe it and reinstall a few times. Just finished downloading a 40GB library so I'm kinda antsy to get back into it... heh.

    I get the attached message.

     There are a couple of things that can cause this.
    - One of the "less known" issues are if your DAZConnect library is missing, then you will get a postgres connection error.
    - If you look at your DS Preferences Pane for CMS, does it point to the correct place, where the actual cms folder is?
    - If you navigate with Finder to ~/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/cms/ContentCluster , does it contain something at all?
    - In ~/Library/Application Support/DAZ 3D/cms/ContentCluster there is a file dblog.txt, does it contain errors about "wrong privilegies on files?". This is due to Apple changed default privilegies on files inside ~/Library but postgres refuses to open a database file that someone else has write rights to, as it is a potential security breach if someone tempers with the database file so it reads something that can cause an internal issue and be used as an arbitrary execution exploit.

    At a time when Intel processors are deminishing and ARM/M1-4+ are rapidly surpassing the estatblished dominant CPU in the computer market, it seems to me that DAZ3d would be very foolish not to invest in making their product ARM/Mac compatible. Hopefully this PostgresSQL issue will soon be resolved.

    I've run the postgres on my MacStudio M1Max and my M2 air and never had any postgres issues related that has t do with architecture issues.

    @Totte I spent 4 days trying to get a postegreSQL problem solved. I finally learned alot from your posts and want to let you know that one of your comments fixed the problem. ie: postegreSQL will only run if folder permissions are set to admin access Only.

    I also found your April 2024 check list very helpful. Not to mention the time saver gem that explained why a 32bit app is bundled with the 64bit Mac DS.

    Thank you
