I get the "FATAL 1" message from "postgres -i":

[postgres@lexis postgres]$ postgres -i
FATAL 1:  Database postgres does not exist in pg_database
FATAL 1:  Database postgres does not exist in pg_database
[postgres@lexis postgres]$ 

What may I be doing wrong?

(By the way, where is the "-i" option documented? The HTML manual I am
following tells you to use it but does not explain it, neither does the
man page.)

My settings:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/man
PGLIB=/usr/lib/pgsql
PGDATA=/home/postgres/data

"initdb" seemed to run ok.

Thanks a lot.
