installing postgresql 8.1.4 - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on my computer.
It is a Linux system with GCC 3.4.6 and GLIBC 2.3.6.
Things run on a pentium 4 (32bit) with plenty (2GB) of ram.
I can ./configure --disable-spinlocks with CFLAGS: -O2 -march=pentium4
-fprefetch-loop-arrays.

Now when I run: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
I get the following errors:

postgres@muur:/tmp$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
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 C.
