I created a new database with alternate location (create database
java_general with location = 'JAVA_GENERAL_DB';). Now I can't drop
this database:

--- clip ---
bash-2.05$ dropdb java_general
ERROR:  Postmaster environment variable 'JAVA_GENERAL_DB' not set
dropdb: database removal failed
--- clip ---

The env var is set afaik:

bash-2.05$ echo $JAVA_GENERAL_DB
/home/www/html/somewhere/somedir/


Any ideas?
