I cannot run initdb anymore.

initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input to create the
template database.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create the
global classes.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based
authentication control file.

We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=31).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

initdb: creating template database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1

Using -d didn't show me much. I'm using the source I downloaded a few hours
ago. And this time I did a make clean; make all.

Also I'd like to know if the operator "->" is in use for something. I'd like
to use it for C variables to be able to do something like this:

select name into :structpointer->name

If it is used though I have to disable this feature.
