Fresh install on Mac OS 10.5.4

From

I downloaded version 8.3.3 and after a successful build from source
and an install, I tried to create a database cluster. I got the
following error:

bash-3.2$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.4.dylib
   Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/initdb
   Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Any ideas? This is on Mac OS 10.5.4. What I see in /usr/local/pgsql/
lib is libpq.5.dylib and not libpq.4.dylib.

Thanks!
Manoj Patwardhan

Could be a path problem. Try

which initdb

initdb --version

to make sure you are running the version of initdb you think you are.

Yeah ... the reference to libpq major version 4 suggests *very*
strongly that this copy of initdb is from PG version 8.0 or 8.1.

Thanks guys!

Yes, 8.3.3 binaries got installed in /usr/local/pgsql/bin and so the
7.3 version that I had previously didn't get overwritten. Binaries for
7.3 were in /usr/local/bin

Works now.
