Обсуждение: Failed to initialize lc_messages to ''
Hi all, I just tried a fresh install of pg 7.3.1 on a SuSE 8.1 box. I keep getting messages like Failed to initialize lc_messages to '' during initdb. I already tried --locale=C but no help. Anyone any ideas? regards GB

Try initdb with -d option and show us the (last few lines of) output.
Also, what is your LANG/LC_ALL setting? Does the -d output change
when you use --locale=C?

Hi Tom, sorry for not replying for so long. LC_ALL is set to 'en_us'. We finally got it to run by setting LC_MESSAGES to 'C'. But since we will have to redo this we'll try -d then. thanks a lot Gerd .

You can easily experiment with initdb without having to reset your existing
database. Just give it a -D switch that points at a scratch directory.
After the experiment, rm -rf the scratch directory and you're back where
you were.
