Hi Alvaro,
I just compiled version 9.1.3 and got quite the same error.
I still do not have any clue what to change, as the compile runs successful=
ly without any error.
Regards Wilfried=20

I'm forwarding a reply I got to my personal email. I have no idea what
to do with this report. The interesting extract from the attached log
file is:
initializing dependencies ... ok

Subject: AW: [BUGS] BUG #6334: initdb not working
Hi Alvaro,
sorry for answering so late.
I asked my AIX systems administrator for support on this issue. However the=
y had no idea what kind of strace I could run to get more detailed informat=
ion.
Could you please give me any advice how to trace this bug?
Attached you find the debugging output of initdb. This is the only informat=
ion I have at the moment. Maybe this helps a little bit.
Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Gr=FCssen

With the amount of info in this report, it seems quite unlikely that we
would be able to come up with an explanation. Maybe the operating
system is silently failing the mkdir() calls. Would you run it under
some sort of strace equivalent?
