Here's my path:

/opt/homebrew/bin/:/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@17/bin:/usr/local/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/local/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/bin:/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/codex.system/bootstrap/usr/appleinternal/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin

I have postgresql@17 installed with HomeBrew. I don't see many options to install repmgr on Darwin / MacOS X Sequoia. Brew does not have the repmgr package, neither does macports.

I seem to be missing some prerequisite, but I have no idea how to figure out what it is.

json-c-devel is not installed. For details, see Installation

Thanks for that. json-c is installed now ( with home-brew ) I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get make to find the json-c library during the link.

[vpredoehl]

I added/changed lines 25/216 in Makefile.global.in to this:

25 PG_CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include/ -I/opt/homebrew/include/postgresql@17/
26 PG_LDFLAGS=-lcurl -ljson-c -lintl

The flag -lintl linked against the library to find the unresolved symbol intl_gettext. I installed hombre package ki18n to get this library. I also installed json-c from hombrew.

I also updated LIBRARY_PATH so clang could find the libs installed with hombres.

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin/:/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@17/bin:/opt/local/bin:$PATH"
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARHPATH:/opt/homebrew/lib/

Seemed to work. Hope this helps somebody else because I couldn't find a package manager that would do this install for me.
