I'm trying to get Postgresql 6.4.2 working on my Redhat 5.2 box.
I'm running into the following problem when running initdb. I did
have an older version of Postgresql that came with the system, but
I removed it. Here's the error I'm getting ...
--------
We are initializing the database system with username postgres
(uid=100).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

-------
Whenever I try to run postmaster now, I get this error:
Database system in directory /usr/local/pgsql/data is not compatible
with this version of Postgres, or we are unable to read the PG_VERSION
fil
. Explanation from ValidatePgVersion: Version number in file
'/usr/local/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION' should be 6.4, not 6.3.
No data directory -- can't proceed.

I'm using all the files that came with the distribution found on your
ftp site. This is the file
I'm downloading:
postgresql-6.4.2.tar.gz
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian
