Does anyone know how I can install libpq-dev on Mac OS 10.6? It's a pre-requisite for something else I want to install.
There doesn't seem to be a macport for it, so how can I install it on a Mac?

Consider using Homebrew
brew install postgresql
It'll give you the necessary headers.
You can install libpq (dev files are included) alone using homebrew.
brew install libpq
The include files and libs are then available in the following folders:
/usr/local/opt/libpq/lib
/usr/local/opt/libpq/include
When I've search in ports I've found this:
port search libpq
libpqxx @3.0.2 (databases, devel)
Official C++ client API for PostgreSQL
libpqxx26 @2.6.9 (databases, devel)
Official C++ client API for PostgreSQL
You can try one of those.
Using macports, this worked for me:
sudo port install postgresql96
sudo port select --set postgresql postgresql96
I believe this installs all the postgres client tools and libs, while macports has a separate port for installing the server, i.e. postgresql96-server.
