Hello all,

i'm trying to install postgresql 8.1.3
on AIX 5.2 RISC 6000

the steps
- ./configure
- gmake
- gmake install

are OK

so i created /usr/local/pgsql/data
but when ran
- initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

had the following result :

"
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to LATIN1.

"

I have repeated the installation steps for
8.1.0, 8.1.1, 8.1.2 versions
but I obtained the same result

Many thanx to any that can help.

Greetings
paolo
