Re: [7.3-devl] initdb fails on RH 7.3

[This is an email copy of a Usenet post to "comp.databases.postgresql.hackers"]

I just checked out another CVS snapshot onto a RH 7.2 box, and 'make
check' can successfully do the initdb.

I updated the source on the RH 7.3 box, and still get the initdb failure.

I updated the source on the RH Null box, and 'make check' can
successfully do the initdb.

Anyone else having issues on RH 7.3?
