Hi,

I just subscribed to this list.

Can't get initdb to run on a Redhat 5.2 installation because
of an 'ERROR: can't read block 0 from pg_variables'.

I looked in the archives and saw several people asking
for this problem, as far back as two years ago. There
never was an answer except for making sure that the 
user is specified during the call for initdb.

I got postmaster running and specify a user and still
get this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I'm thinking of migrating a large database system (currently
under Ingres on a vintage Sparcserver) to Linux Postgres.
Where would I post inquiries about that (not on this list,
I presume).
