I think what may be happening here is that a postgres executable expects to find itself in a full installation tree, ie if it's in /someplace/bin then the timezone files are in /someplace/share, etc. Did you do a full "make install" after building, or did you just copy the postgres executable? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
