Hello, I don't know you environment so I don't see how many
additional changes are needed, but still I think the message

Take a look at the initdb manual, the tutorial, and the

Well, the initdb issue looks to be resolved. Actually, after making the
changes as suggested by Kyotaro Horiguchi, I copied only initdb binary to

@Craig Ringer, I am afraid I didn't understand your solution.
The scenario I am having is a system which has only user as root. I have
all the permissions and privileges of the system as the user is root. But
pgsql doesn't allow initdb to be executed by root.
I think the solution you proposed gives

Assuming there's no way around doing this (it's generally not a good
idea), you can just use the simple program 'fakeroot'.
This program changes the return values from system calls via
Like Tom said, just setting the the configure option doesn't let the root
user in. Looks like lot more changes are required.
Tom, according to you, what do you think would be my best bet to allow the
root user initialize and start the database server?
Thanks,

@Fabrizio de Royes Mello, Even upon making changes as per your suggestion,

I need to port pgsql onto a controller which doesn't have a framework of
creating multiple users for administrative purposes. The entire controller
