Hi, I’ve already installed postgresQL 6.5 once and it ran like a beauty. However, I forgot the tcl library and after a make clean I did a ./configure –with-tcl. Everything compiles correctly, I’ve created the postgres user and modified the .bash_profile. Brief: I followed the install guide and didn’t get any errors except when I try to start the postmaster.

 

I get /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster does not find the database system. Expected to find it in the PGDATA directory /usr/local/pgsql/data. Unable to open file with pathname /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1/pg_class. In fact there isn’t a data directory in the pgsql directory.

What did I do wrong?

 

Thnx
