[Linux 2.0.30 / Pentium 266 MHz / PostgreSQL 6.3.2]

Hi,

we have PostgreSQL 6.2.1 running since november without
any problems. Now I want to upgrade to 6.3.2 while the
production system is running. So, I set the PostgreSQL
root directories (concerning $PGLIB, $PGDATA and $PATH)
under "/home/frank/try/pgsql". The "make all" and
"make install" ran without errors. Next I started initdb
and problems occur:

  331[postgres@client3]% initdb

  [ ... some messages here ... ]

  Creating Postgres database system directory
/home/frank/try/pgsql/data/base

  [ ... ]

  Adding template1 database to pg_database...
  Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/home/frank/try/pgsql/data -Q
template1 < /tmp/create.12638

  vacuuming template1
  creating public pg_user view
  mv: /home/frank/try/pgsql/data/base/template1/xpg_user: No such file
or directory
  loading pg_description
  332[postgres@client3]%

(1) First Problem

332[postgres@client3]% psql template1
FATAL 1:  InitPostgres could not validate that the database system
version is compatible with this level of Postgres.
        You may need to run initdb to create a new database system.
        Version number in file '/home/frank/try/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION'
should be 6.3, not 6.1.
Connection to database 'template1' failed.

Thus, I changed in PG_VERSION "6.1" into "6.3"
