Thread: initdb: file "/usr/local/share/postgresql/snowball_create.sql" does not exist

Hi,

After installing Postgresql 8.3 beta1 on a fresh FreeBSD 6.2 (port
databases/postgresql83-server) initdb gives error:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
initdb: file "/usr/local/share/postgresql/snowball_create.sql" does not
exist
This means you have a corrupted installation or identified
the wrong directory with the invocation option -L.

Is this expected at this time, or maybe a faulty port?

Thanks.

Faulty port, most likely.  They are forgetting to install the
snowball_create.sql file perhaps, which is new in 8.3.
