What is the exact command you are running (copy/paste)? As simply issuing "su
postgres" should not run initdb on login.
I typed
# su postgres
$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
Well, that's quite different than what you mentioned before. You should do it
like this:
su postgres
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/sfw/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
But really you should probably use crle to update your ld search lib.
