Greetings !

I got the above error [see subject] when I attempted to "initdb".

What's wrong and how do I fix it ?

Appreciatively,

Courtney

Jim,

A couple of other things that might shed light:

1-I am logged in as user "postgres"
2-libpq.so.2 is in /usr/local/pgsql/lib; and is also linked to by
libpq.so in said dir
3-owner/group are both "postgres" [of libpq.so.2, as well as all the
other files in said dir]

Thanks again,

Courtney
