Обсуждение: initdb not included?

I just installed postgresql-7.1.3-2 by RPM, and have been following the
instructions at www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?creating-cluster.html

These instructions say, "To initialize a database cluster, use the command
initdb, which is installed with PostgreSQL." However, i have no such program
on my system.

$ rpm -ql postgresql | grep initdb
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.1.3/html/app-initdb.html

That's it.

Are these instructions outdated, or do i need to install initdb some other
way?

Where did you get this RPM?  Initdb is very much required.  Even if the RPM
 runs initdb for you, it would still have to include it.

Consider subscribing.  There is a constant stream of useful advice for the
 Pgsql newbie on this list, and if you ask a question that has already been
 answered, you are more likely than not to be directed to the list archives.
