Error running initdb

I'm new to postgresql, first of all, and I'm not sure if this is the
correct list....

I have built 7.4.2 on Solaris 8/SPARC. I *think* "make install"
generated all the expected
artifacts.

When I run initdb, I get the following output:

% initdb -D /home/dparker/servers/install/data/testdb1
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"dparker".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

initdb: failed

The ascii_and_mic.so is in $PREFIX/lib/postgresql. I've tried copying it
up one level, and also tried including that path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The
value for $libdir in config.status appears to be correct.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious. Can somebody give me a
clue where to look?

Thanks!
