Klint,
Backed up a couple of steps, and tried again. Removed postgresql-8.3.3;
deleted all contents of /var/lib/pgsql/data (because initdb is supposed to
create the contents, if I correctly read the Postgresql book); re-installed
postgresql-8.3.3; ran (as user postgres) 'initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data'.
Nothing!
I've really FUBARed this and don't understand how, or what to do to
recover.
Thanks,
Rich
