I'm having difficulty installing 8.0.4. Server is SuSE 8.2 without PG
installed. However some client libraries are Yast installed due to
dependency reconciliation.
I'm doing the standard install (./configure, make, make install) and
have created the postgres user and appropriate data directory but
when I run:
initdb /var/lib/pgsql/data
I get:
initdb: file "/usr/share/postgres.bki" does not exist
This means you have a corrupted installation or identified
the wrong directory with the invocation option -L.
Running:
initdb -L /usr/local/pgsql/share/ /var/lib/pgsql/data
Looks pretty good at first but fails at:
creating conversions ... FATAL: could not access file
"$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or directory
Reports from pg_config:
--libdir: /usr/lib
--bindir: /usr/bin
--configure: -blank-
--includedir-server: /usr/include/server
--includedir: /usr/include
--pgxs: /usr/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk
--pkglibdir: /usr/lib
Note, the directories shown for libdir, bindir, includedir and such
are not where the files were actually installed.
Now I could just start shuffling files around till things work but
since I've installed/upgraded many PG installations without this
difficulty I suspect there is something basic that I'm missing that
is causing all of the trouble. Suggestions?
Cheers,
Steve
