Thread: I cannot get the db to initialize. Please help.
Has anyone seen this error and managed to get it to work? I have installed the PostgreSQL 7.3.1 RPMs, but I cannot get the database to initialize. I keep getting the following error. BTW, this is on a Cobalt RAQ550. Any help would be appreciated. TIA. ************************************** [root admin]# su -l postgres -c '/usr/bin/initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/data' The program '/usr/bin/postgres' needed by initdb does not belong to PostgreSQL version 7.3.1, or there may be a configuration problem. This was the error message issued by that program: /usr/bin/postgres: error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared obje ct file: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory [root admin]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/postgres postgresql-server-7.3.1-1PGDG [root admin]# __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Looks like you have an old version installed too. Check "rpm -qa" and try a "locate postgres" to see if there's another version. -- Richard Huxton
