Hi,
I am trying to get Postgres 7.02 setup on my alpha. The build seems to go
okay but the initdb seems to be erroring out.
I have applied the patch: postgresql-7.0-alpha.patch.gz
and I did the ./configure --with-template=linux_alpha
But I still seem to get the error below. Is there something else that I
might have missed to get postgres to work?
Thank you
