Opps! I fixed the above problems by re-initializing and creating a new
data directory. But as I continued I got another error, here's the
printout:
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ psql testdb
Welcome to psql 7.3.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
psql: relocation error: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl <?????????????
So I set these env variables:
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ export PATH
And it works!
[postgres@hardwoodthunder postgres]$ psql testdb
Welcome to psql 7.3.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help on internal slash commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
testdb=#
MY QUESTION:
These env varialbes are already set in .bash_profile for root and
postgres users. Why do I have to set them manually every time?
thanks,
Phil
