Hi all, I got postgres 7.1.3 to compile for the most part, there are a few libs which didn't make it, but I don't think they are part of the problem. After installing everything I did the initdb which worked just fine. I got the postmaster up just fine, too. Then, when I tried 'createdb msms' I got an error that the backend has disconnected - the postmaster was still up though. When I tried again, I got messages that the directory I was trying to create already existed. I tried this a few times to no avail. I also tried this with the postgres.pkg (sort of what an rpm is for RedHat Linux) file which I installed before I went to compile everything myself.
I currently have the drive formatted with the Apple HFS+ filesystem, I'm not sure if it would make a difference if I would format that with UFS. I have a spare 10 GB drive and I'm willing to put myself though 10 hours of installation vows ... any hints?
