Thread: cvs 'initdb' -- "vacuuming database template1 ... FATAL: could not identify a comparison function for type aclitem"

head does this to me when I try to initdb:

postgres@xpc1:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.

I bet you didn't do a full recompile after "cvs update".
If you're not using --enable-depend then you really have
to do "make clean" or even "make distclean".

I am using --enable-depend, but I'll "make clean" and give
it another shot.

All better.  Thanks.

I guess I be suspicious of --enable-depend for a while.
