Hmm... I'm thinking you either have a version mismatch or perhaps
there's an issue with your recovery process. can you initidb a new
location with the proper local settings, then copy over the data dir to
that new location? If that doesn't work, post the steps you took to
restore.
You might have been right about the version problem. I built an older version (7.3) and started the server with that data dir and it worked fine. Since there shouldn't be the need to dump and restore with any 7.3.x version, I'm not sure that was the deal. The data base came off a Red Hat 9 box, and I was trying to restore to a Gentoo box. Once I copied the data dir to a Red Hat 9 box (and installed 7.3) everything worked. <shrug>
Thank you Robert and Tom for taking time to help me. :)
