Thread: Postgres 6.5.3
I am trying to install postgres but I am having to hardwire everything. I type echo $PATH and /usr/local/pgsql/bin is there. I type echo $PGDATA and /usr/local/pgsql/data is there I type echo $PGLIB and /usr/local/pgsql/lib comes up. I can't run the postgres programs from anywhere but the bin directory so it is not using the path. and in all of the scripts I had to add the path to all of the commands. I can't run the programs without the direct switches. I have to type --pgdata= and --pglib= so the variables aren't being read. I can't add users because it can't find the pg_user table. I ran initdb after hardwiring the command paths and it ran without problem and all the files seem to be there. Postmaster started without complaint with the -D switch. I am using RedHat 6.1. Do you have any idea why the variable statements aren't working right?
