Josh Burdick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description INSTALL procedure doesn't create data dir. Long Description when doing an install-from-source of 7.1.2, on an Intel Red Hat 6.1 box, following the INSTALL "short version", it compiled cleanly. But "initdb" failed -- it couldn't find the data directory. So I created it by hand, and everything looked fine. I don't expect this to happen terribly often, because most people will be either actually using some sort of package which (presumably) takes care of this, or installing over a previous installation (in which case the data directory's already there.) Sample Code workaround: % su % cd /usr/local/pgsql % mkdir data % chown postgres:postgres data % exit ... then I continue doing the INSTALL instructions, picking up at "initdb...", and things look spiffy from there on.
