Bug reference: 1072
Logged by: Thomas Borg Salling

Email address: tbs(at)navicon(dot)dk

PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system: Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.7)

Description: "$libdir/ascii_and_mic": No such file or directory

Details:

I have downloaded and built Postgres 7.4.1:

as user 'tbs':
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgres-7.4.1/ --with-perl --enable-thread-safety
make
make check

as user 'root':
make install
mkdir /data/postgres
chown -R postgres /opt/postgres-7.4.1
chgrp -R postgres /opt/postgres-7.4.1
chown -R postgres /data/postgres
chgrp -R postgres /data/postgres

as user 'postgres':
[postgres(at)hubertus postgres]$ /opt/postgres-7.4.1/bin/initdb -D
/data/postgres/
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.iso885915.

Why does this fail? What can I do to resolve it?

Thanks in advance!
