Hi Kevin,

I am new to this forum, but even i am facing this issue as reported where i
get the below error.

 sudo -u shahid ./pg_ctl -D /root/pgsql10x/data/ initdb
invalid binary "/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl"
invalid binary "/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl"
invalid binary "/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl"
The program "initdb" is needed by pg_ctl but was not found in the
same directory as "pg_ctl".
Check your installation.

FYI ,
I am trying to run this from root. 
As reported by H S, even i have built from the source. I am trying version
10. on CentOS7.
I downloaded direct from postgres site.
I am not facing this problem when i run as non-root user.

I have all the files in the bin directory, as shared below,
