InitDB-Problem

Hi everybody,

I just downloaded and installed the new PostgreSQL 6.3.2. Everything went
fine including the installation.
Now my problem: When i run "initdb", the following error message appears :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
> WARN:heap_modifytuple: repl is \  0
initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When i run "initdb" with debugging on, it seems that this error occurs
"near" :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
> CREATED relation pg_description with OID 18759
> Commit End
Amopen: relation pg_description. attrsize 61
create attribute 0 name objoid len 4 num 1 type 26
create attribute 1 name description len -1 num 2 type 25
> Amclose: relation (null).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any idea what might be or what i did wrong ?

Many thanx in advance !!!

Dany

    This error message indicates that there are older PostgreSQL
libraries floating around your system...
