FATAL: could not load library "/usr/lib64/pgsql/utf8_and_shift_jis_2004.so": /usr/lib64/pgsql/utf8_and_shift_jis_2004.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory FWIW, I tried to duplicate this on a RHEL5-U4 installation, without success: initdb runs fine for me. I assume you're using the RPMs from http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.4/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/ ? If so, it seems like this must be some problem in CentOS' version of the distro. What I find installed on Red Hat's machine is kernel-2.6.18-164.el5 glibc-2.5-42 (and a boatload of other stuff of course, but those seem like the packages most likely to be involved). Maybe CentOS 5.4 is a bit different? 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
