Juergen Nagel (Juergen-Nagel(at)gmx(dot)de) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
installation fails

Long Description
The error happens when it comes to point 9 in the INSTALL file:
> mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
> chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
> su - postgres
> /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

When I enter the last command, the following error message appears
initdb: pg_encoding failed
Perhaps you did not configure PostgreSQL for multibyte support or
the program was not successfully installed.
