Make sure that initdb is the version you want

Klint,
Yes, it is: 8.3.
then
initdb -E UTF8 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
then post the output of that.
Very interesting. While en_US is not accepted, UTF8 is.
postgres@salmo:/var/lib/pgsql$ initdb -E UTF8 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data

You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.
Success. You can now start the database server using:
postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
or
pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -l logfile start
Notice the warning detail about us_EN encoding. Is there a protocol for
what to include in a report to pgsql-bugs?
I will now try a new dumpall using the 8.3.3 version, once I find how to
specify a different $PGDATA on the command line.
