Hi!

I just tried to upgrade to version 6.4.2. I followed the instruction and
compiling and installing went fine.

But initdb stops with the following message:

postgres@hobbes:/usr/local/pgsql > initdb -d    
Running with debug mode on.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input
to create the template database.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create
the global classes.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based
authentication control file.

Unable to determine a valid username.  If you are running
initdb without an explicit username specified, then there
may be a problem with finding the Postgres shared library
and/or the pg_id utility.

This happens despite the fact, that pg_id is in the path and the shared
libraries are set up properly.

I also carefully removed any previous versions of postgres binaries.

Is this a known problem?
Has somebody a good idea what I made wrong?

Thank you in advance!

        Michael
