I am about at wits end. I have been firing off emails, getting no
reply, and it has been about a week and a half. To top this off, I
gotta describe why I am getting nowhere on this database to my boss!
I am attaching the output of initdb, and mind you, this is a FRESH
install, fresh recompile from a fresh source tree.
If necessary, I could easily give you all of the compile output, but I
can't see where that'll get you.
Please email me at:
rstodd@cts.com
Thank you very much,
Robert Stoddard
