Обсуждение: installation(pg_depend) problem

Hi:
I am installing postgres on a Debian Linux box. After following all the necessray steps (make, make install, making the data directory, chown, etc), I ran initdb as pecified in the INSTALL file. It terminates giving the following error:

initializing pg_depend ... cannot connect : Connection refused
child process exited with exit code 1

Does anyone know what the problem is? (I have attached the complete output of initdb below).

Thank,
HSA


pguser@scspc123:~$ /usr/local/Robust/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/Robust/pgsql/data

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pguser".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

That's completely bizarre.  There isn't anything the pg_depend step does
that's very different from stuff already done in the earlier steps.
Also, I can't find the string "cannot connect" anywhere in the PG source
code, so it's not apparent where the error is coming from ... somewhere
down in glibc maybe?

You might try running the initdb process under "strace -f -o logfile" to
see if you can get more info.  The output will probably be voluminous,
so don't post it all; but the last few hundred lines might yield a clue
as to what the code is doing when it fails.
