I had this same problem. Thanks to a suggestion from Bruce Momjian, I
noticed that the configure script was not finding the readline
libraries. I checked, and found that though I did have the readline
package installed, I did not have the readline-devel package installed.
Once I installed that
due to a character
that is not allowed or because the chosen path isn't permitted for
databases"
I also tried createdb -D 'PGDATA2' testdb, same result.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
J.R. Belding
