You don't. Normal rpm packagers put binaries in /usr/bin and not in /usr/local/pgsql/bin. Try this: $ initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data Or, just try to start the database with the init script: # /etc/init.d/postgresql start If it's like the one I have here on Fedora, it should run initdb automatically if the Cluster hasn't been built yet. -- select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' AS email; ------------------------------------------------------- Martín Marqués | Programador, DBA Centro de Telemática | Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
