Hi all,

this is my first time posting here because I've been running pgsql without
problem on a couple of Linux boxes for a while now.

I'm migrating to a new MacBook, and while I finally got it to compile, initdb,
and start a postmaster, any time I try createdb or createuser, I get a message
that the database 'postgres' cannot be found.

I installed after a manual build, chown'ed /usr/local/pgsql to postgres, added
a 'data' directory, and called initdb on it.  But all calls to createdb or
createuser gave the message above.

Can anyone help?
