Hello cpalx, you need to install the client for postgress into your
Mac, check the documentation, in my case for firebird only in Mac the
installer create a Framework after you need to create a ls(symbolic
links).
I have test this whit Zeos too.

I've created symlink in same directory where my application binary is.
So open terminal and create symlink.
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpq.5.dylib /myappbindir/libpq.dylib 
but just because libpq isn't in path (MacOSX 10.4.XX).

I have use ls command into terminal:
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Versions/A/Firebird
/usr/lib/libfbclient.dylib; check if you have the same path.

This works for firebird.

Check documentacion for Postgress.
