Bug reference: 1072
Logged by: Thomas Borg Salling
Email address: tbs@navicon.dk
PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system: Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.7)
Description: "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or directory
Details:
I have downloaded and built Postgres 7.4.1:
as user 'tbs':
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres-7.4.1/ --with-perl --enable-thread-safety
make
make check
as user 'root':
make install
mkdir /data/postgres
chown -R postgres /opt/postgres-7.4.1
chgrp -R postgres /opt/postgres-7.4.1
chown -R postgres /data/postgres
chgrp -R postgres /data/postgres
as user 'postgres':
[postgres@hubertus postgres]$ /opt/postgres-7.4.1/bin/initdb -D
/data/postgres/
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 en_US.iso885915.
