Hi,
I have downloaded the postgres version 6.5.3 . My m/c is redhat linux 6.0.
Postgres compiles without any error. I then initialize the database using
initdb. But when i start the postmaster i get the following error message.

Database system in directory /tmp/pgsql/data is not compatible with this version of Postgres, or we are unable to read the PG_VERSION file. Explanation from ValidatePgVersion: Version number in file '/tmp/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION' should be 6.4, not 6.5.

No data directory -- can't proceed.


Can anyone explain why?
