[GENERAL] Ungooglable error message when running initdb: Symbol not found: _check_encoding_conversion_args
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.

Re: [GENERAL] Ungooglable error message when running initdb: Symbol not found: _check_encoding_conversion_args
It is in /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/bin/, but `which initdb` returns /usr/local/bin/initdb. The /usr/local/bin one is a symlink to the /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/bin one. Running /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/defaultdb yields the same results. Does this bring us any closer to a solution? 2009/9/2 Devrim GÜNDÜZ dev...@gunduz.org On Wed, 2009-09-02 at 09:52 +0200, August Lilleaas wrote: augu...@honk:~$ initdb -D /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/defaultdb Is initdb under /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/8.4.0/bin, or is there another one in $PATH? -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org -- August Lilleaas

That function was added to the backend relatively recently. The other possibility that comes to mind is that this is Snow Leopard-specific breakage. But others have reported successful builds on SL. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

That function was added to the backend relatively recently. There is no other postgresql on my system, so that can't be it. The other possibility that comes to mind is that this is Snow Leopard-specific breakage. But others have reported successful builds on SL. Indeed, that's what bothers me. I'll try to use root, create a separate postgres user, and a few other things. I'm sure it's just something trivial I'm overlooking. regards, tom lane -- August Lilleaas
