What compiler are you using, for what hardware? Did you use any nondefault configure or compiler switches? Have you modified the Postgres sources at all? Which step of initdb gets the failure? Try running that step under gdb so you can get a stack trace pointing at the failure location. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
