I'm having difficulty installing 8.0.4. Server is SuSE 8.2 without PG installed. However some client libraries are Yast installed due to dependency reconciliation.
I'm doing the standard install (./configure, make, make install) and have created the postgres user and appropriate data directory but when I run: initdb /var/lib/pgsql/data I get: initdb: file "/usr/share/postgres.bki" does not exist This means you have a corrupted installation or identified the wrong directory with the invocation option -L. Running: initdb -L /usr/local/pgsql/share/ /var/lib/pgsql/data Looks pretty good at first but fails at: creating conversions ... FATAL: could not access file "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or directory Reports from pg_config: --libdir: /usr/lib --bindir: /usr/bin --configure: -blank- --includedir-server: /usr/include/server --includedir: /usr/include --pgxs: /usr/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk --pkglibdir: /usr/lib Note, the directories shown for libdir, bindir, includedir and such are not where the files were actually installed. Now I could just start shuffling files around till things work but since I've installed/upgraded many PG installations without this difficulty I suspect there is something basic that I'm missing that is causing all of the trouble. Suggestions? Cheers, Steve ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
