Hello pgsql-general,

I'm having trouble initializing the database cluster.  Here's how it does:

netra ~ # (cd /var/opt/csw/postgresql/8.4/pgdata; truss -f -o
/var/tmp/initdb.truss su postgres -c
"/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/sparcv9/initdb -D
/var/opt/csw/postgresql/8.4/pgdata -E utf-8")
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 en_US.UTF-8.
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

initdb: removing contents of data directory "/var/opt/csw/postgresql/8.4/pgdata"

-------------------

There are 2 sets of libraries installed.
/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib contains 32-bit libraries.
/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/64 contains the 64-bit set.

Here's what initdb does:

7584:   stat("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic",
0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE610) Err#2 ENOENT
7584:   stat("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so",
0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE610) = 0
7584:   stat("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so",
0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE6C0) = 0
7584:   stat("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so",
0xFFFFFFFF7FFFDD20) = 0
7584:   resolvepath("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so",
"/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so", 1023) = 48
7584:   open("/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/ascii_and_mic.so", O_RDONLY) = 37

If I understand correctly, the problem is that
/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/initdb looks for the libraries in the
wrong place: /opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib instead of
/opt/csw/lib/postgresql/8.4/lib/64.  How can I tell it to look there?

Maciej
