postgresql and initdb
I've installed PostgreSQL here on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, and I'm a little confused by the presence of the initdb(1) manpage and absence of an initdb command. # locate initdb /usr/local/man/man1/initdb.1.gz /usr/ports/databases/postgresql73-server/files/patch-src-bin-initdb-Makefile /usr/ports/databases/postgresql74-server/files/patch-src-bin-initdb-Makefile /usr/ports/www/rt2/files/patch-tools-initdb Any hints? -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Phillip J.

It's not there, unfortunately. The above locate indicated as much,
and
`cd /usr/local/bin;ls|grep initdb` returns nothing (as does simply
ls and
searching through it by eye).
Similarly, that location doesn't contain initlocation, pg_controldata,
pg_ctl, pg_id, pg_resetxlog, postgres, or postmaster.
Thus . . . rehashing (which I did before I ran the locate anyway)
probably won't work.
Odd-- that sounds like the port wasn't installed properly. What does:
pkg_info | grep postgres
...show? And pkg_info -Lx postgres...?

What port did you install exactly? Installing one of the
postgresql[XX]-client ports will end you up with all of the manpages,
but none of the commands that you would only need if there was a
server installed, such as initdb, postgres, postmaster and so on and
so forth.
My guess is you need to install the corrosponding
postgresql[XX]-server to match the client you already have installed.
