Got this problem: [rob@bloodyaxes bin]# su postgres -c "initdb --pgdata=/var/db --pglib=/usr/local/pgsql/lib"   We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=100). This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.   Creating template database in /var/db/base/template1 ERROR:  Error: unknown type 'oidvector'.   ERROR:  Error: unknown type 'oidvector'.   initdb: could not create template database initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /var/db/base/template1 [rob@bloodyaxes bin]#   all of my permissions are correct, this is a totally clean, fresh source install of 7.0.2.  I am wondering if this problem persists on anybody else's machine, because mine is all about missing oidvectors, no matter how I compile this thing.  I dug thru the source code, and it is defined in there.  Anybody know what also reads the include files (other than the compiler)?  It is giving the oidvector declaration a complete miss if I know anything at all about this problem...   I tried some time ago to fix this, and couldn't get any help until I erroneously posted the reports from when I tried to configure a directory which I hadn't set permissions for.  I got tons of support for that one (thanks!) but none of it did me any good because I realized my error immediately after doing it, and proceeded to make myself a fool by posting those results, rather than the ones from the attempt immediately afterwards.   Thank you for your support!   Rob
