Simon,
Sorry to ping you directly, but your recent conversation with Tom Lane
on a very similar issue in RelOptInfo leads me to believe you'll be
able to suss this out immediately.
Background:
1) Building PG8.0.2 on AIX5.3/64bit.
2) Configure/Make/Build all complete OK.
3) I attempt to initdb and:
##################################################################################################
postgres@ [/home/app/postgresql-8.0.2] /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.

This is generated by initdb.c, of course, calling fputs, and PG_CMD_OPEN...It eventually
gets kicked out of outfuncs.c.
I get stuck there: why is this happening? Does anything jump out to you?
Any thoughts or comments (including, "Why don't you just commit suicide?") most welcome.
Thanks.
