Re: initdb failure with Postgres 8.4.4

No, we do not use --with-system-tzdata option.
I looked at the makefile and at the output of pg_config. We may need to do some cleanup there, but I did not pick any clues.
The problem occurs on all our UNIX platforms.
Is there anything I could do to shed more light on it?
I can post the output of pg_config if it helps, or try to run initdb with truss or strace.

Thanks,
Michael.

Moving the install tree works for me. Did you do something odd with the
--with-system-tzdata configuration option?
