Thread: initdb error
Hello,
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL on Solaris 9. Everything's compiled
properly but when I run initdb I get the following error:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.9 Generic May 2002
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

file or directory
I found libgcc_s.so.1 in /usr/local/lib and that directory is in
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Is there anything that I'm missing here or that I need to
look for in my configure settings?

Is that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you're su'd to the postgreSQL
user?
I added
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to /etc/init.d/postgresql and created a .profile in its home directory
with that in it.
Solved all those problems :).
You can also solve such problems by using the -R switch during build
(man ld) and with Solaris 8/9's new "crle" utility.

That would seem to be the problem. Thanks.
