We are running Postgresql 7.4.7 on Redhat EL 4. Running /usr/bin/initdb command as user postgres fails before creating the views such as pg_user and pg_rules. It does create the database directories and databases. We can access them, add tables, and data. But pg_dump fails to do anything (no error messages, just nothing). Can anyone help us out?
