I'm starting to think you have a corrupted postgresql-server RPM. Also, in your prior message: > bash-3.00$ initdb -D=/var/lib/pgsql/data/ > fgets failure: Success > The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the > same directory as "/usr/bin/initdb". > Check your installation. As best I can tell from the source code, this could only happen if "/usr/bin/postgres -V" failed. What happens if you do that by hand? What does "ls -l /usr/bin/postgres" show? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
