In this case clearly "GetAvailableLocales" - nothing unusual with your locale setup, is there? No, that's not the probem. GetAvailableLocales() is the last step that runs pre-installation. It has clearly moved past it. If you get the initdb execution error, there should (hopefully) be a separate log called (IIRC) initdb.log. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
