OK, this has nothing at all to do with the absence of the build path. It
has to do with using a non-standard sharedir.I have reproduced it thus:
[andrew@aurelia blurflinst]$ mv share/ foo [andrew@aurelia blurflinst]$ bin/initdb -L `pwd`/foo/postgresql data3
Thefiles belonging to this database system will be owned by user "andrew". This user must also own the server
process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.utf8. The default database encoding has accordingly
beenset to UTF8. The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
creating directory data3 ... ok creating subdirectories ... ok selecting default max_connections ... 10

I will dig a bit further.
