Thread: Installation problem
. I just installed Postgres 7.0.2 on my system and followed the installation instructions to the T. i even ran the regression tests and everything works fine, until i try to create a database. logged in as 'postgres', i issue the command "createdb testdb" i get the following response:
/usr/bin/psql: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/bin/psql: undefined symbol: pg_encoding_to_char
createdb: database creation failed
createdb: database creation failed
any help with this would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

I did have PG 6.5.3 I think. I moved it out of the directory it was in and put it in a pgsql_old directory. Is there something else I need to do to get rid of it? At this point what should I do to get rid of all of them?
