Re:Re: initdb & multibyte

OK, now we get:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_encoding: error in loading shared libraries:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_encoding: undefined symbol: pg_char_to_encoding
initdb: pg_encoding failed

Perhaps you did not configure PostgreSQL for multibyte support or
the program was not successfully installed.

Hmm.  Someone else told me about seeing the same thing on a Linux box,
but I didn't hear what the resolution was.

initdb is not very good about giving you details about failures of
the programs it calls --- in particular, pg_encoding's stdout/stderr
is rerouted to /dev/null in the script :-(.  I'd recommend changing
the initdb script to not redirect pg_encoding's output, and then
you'll be able to see what pg_encoding is unhappy about.  Let us know...
