8.0 beta CVS of 8/8/2004:
If a relative path is used for the -L option in initdb, the following fatal
error happens:
./initdb -D ../data -L ../share/postgresql/
<snip>
creating system views ... ok
loading pg_description ... ERROR: could not open file
"../share/postgresql/postgres.description" for reading: No such file or
directory
child process exited with exit code 1
Is this intentional? The first dozen or so commands work fine with a relative
path, and this executes fine with an absolute path for both -D and -L.
