Thread: Problem with the compilation and running of postgresql

Hello,

I have the folowing problem.
The hard discks on the hosting machine, where was our web site, crashed
3 days ago. They have managed to recover all the files from data
directory and they have sended them to me.
I have installed on my test machine (Slackware 10, Kernel: 2.4.26)
PostgreSQL 7.3.9, the same that they have used, but when i copied the
data directory and tried to start posgresql I recieved the following error:
PANIC:  The database cluster was initialized with LC_COLLATE
'en_US.iso885915',
        which is not recognized by setlocale().
        It looks like you need to initdb.
Aborted

As long as I know I have to put some key in configure command. I have
tried with |--enable-nls and ||--enable-recode, but that just did not work.|
Cann you please tell me, how cann I make this work.

Best regards,
Martin Nikolov.

P.S. Sorry for my terrible English.

Well, it's evidently not exactly the same system software they used,
because you're missing the locale definition.  Perhaps you need to
install additional package(s) to get that locale?
