I really do not know what it is, but have you tried this: > bash-3.2$ initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data/
Don't do this. Scrips /etc/rc.d/postgresql tries to setup cluster in first run. Now, delete /var/lib/postgresql > initdb: symbol lookup error: initdb: undefined symbol: pg_encoding_to_char Did you have latest versions of postgresql? Make 'bash# pacman -Syu' or at least 'bash# pacman -Sy postgresql postgresql-libs' Did you have at least locales: en_US.UTF-8, en_US, de_DE.UTF-8, de_DE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? If not, uncomment them in /etc/locale.gen and command 'bash# locale-gen' Then, under root account, make 'bash# /etc/rc.d/postgresql start' If nothing helps, try to init cluster in en_US.UTF-8 locale: bash# su postgres bash$ export LANG=en_US.UTF8 bash$ initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data/ _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
