Vanilla built from source (./configure ; make ; make install).
Platform: SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586)
uname -a: Linux web2 2.4.20-4GB #1 Mon Mar 17 17:54:44 UTC 2003 i686
unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Selected environment variables:
CPU=i686
HOME=/var/lib/pgsql
HOSTTYPE=i386
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LOGNAME=postgres
MACHTYPE=i686-suse-linux
OSTYPE=linux
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games
I did not install PostgreSQL when the machine was originally built
_but_ certain client libraries are installed by YaST to satisfy
dependencies. I do not believe any server-related libraries were
installed.
I also tried substituting the new libraries for the old as well as
removing them from /usr/lib entirely without effect.
For completeness and guc.c line numbers, here's the whole output:
postgres@web2:~> initdb --no-locale /var/lib/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
