Thanks, Tom, My /etc/ld.so.conf didn't have /opt/postgresql/lib in it, yet when I renamed /opt/postgresql (which was v7.2.2) to something else, the initdb succeeded. I'm not sure why it went looking up there...
Thanks again, Gordon. -- "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." -- Theodore Roosevelt ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
