Hello there,
I'm configuring with `./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0`,
without sudo. I hawe chowned /usr/local so that I don't need to sudo it. I'm
getting the following error when running `initdb` after successfully compiling
postgresql
Symbol not found: _check_encoding_conversion_args
Here's the full output.

I found something on google about the file ascii_and_mic.so not existing, but
that's not the case here; the file does indeed exist. Googling
_check_encoding_conversion_args doesn't yield any results.
My system is OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). I'm working
with http://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql/source/v8.4.0/postgresql-8.4.0.tar.gz.
i dont know the OS x 10 system but you have checked the permissions of
ascii_and_mic.so, this file must have the owner and group whit the user
creating the cluster
