Re[2]: [BUGS] BUG #12241: uninitialized value $lib_path

Hello All,

Issue can be closed, found the solution, sorry for disturbance.

Thanks, Tom, for an attempt, but actually the issue was in 3 things of postgresql:

1. /tmp/.s.**** and /var/run/postgresql ownage and chmod settings. (+ pid deleting if not helping and killing all (theoretically) running servers by reported ports.)
2. The server is meant to be started by postgres user, not '-u postgres' . (Don't know why, it just is so... Took long time to figure it out, would be great if someone can give a logical explanation.)
3. Database must by initiated by postgres, and chmod settings of global/pg_filenode.map should be checked. (Default were misconfigured in Debian...)

P.S. /usr/bin/psql is recommended install dir by guide if building postgresql from sources, or using distributed package manager.
P.P.S. Just in case someone used guide, and this solution didn't help to fix the issue, extrainfo: Manual build was installed to other than recommended place ( to avoid messing with package manager.), so extraissues are possible.
