Hi folks,
I tried to install postgresql V6.4.2 in Irix IRIX6.4 sgi Onyx
machine, I have managed to compile with
lots and lots of warning.
I have the following problem,
There is no user called postgres in the system all binaries are
installed in my user space
these are the environment variables
PGLIB=/d1/senthil/pgsql/lib
PGDATA=/d1/senthil/pgsql/data
HOME=/d1/senthil
the data directory is initially empty there are no files not even
pg_hba.conf as mentioned in the manual
when I try to initialize the database with initdb I get the following
error and dumps core.
Should I have seperate postgres account ? please help
senthil
senthil(at)maya(2:20pm)>initdb
We are initializing the database system with username senthil
(uid=18965).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
