 I got a problem when I try to install postgresql 7.1.3 into a redhat box. I dowloaded postgresql-7.1.3.tar.gz and expand it. Then I follow installation instructions in file INSTALL. I try to install it under my own home directory using the following configure command
      ./configure --prefix=/home/hbwang/pgsql
Everything works well until I execute the following command line
      initdb -r /home/hbwang/pgsql/data -l  /home/hbwang/pgsql/lib
It returns an error saying that
      initdb does not find the file '/home/hbwang/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source'
I searched directory /home/hbwang/pgsql/lib, there is no file called local1_template1.bki.source
Is the installation instruction wrong? How to get around that problem? I know little about installation of postgresql. Thanks a lot.
Henry
