Summary: If you build Postgresql from the source distribution, ensure
that you remove the RH rpm package(s) first. This avoids getting the
wrong executables durint initdb and such.
I had this type of problem on one of my RH/Linux installations. It turned
out that RH has a /usr/bin/initdb. I should have been running the
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb.
I removed the postgres RPM package(s) and tried again. All went well.
