Is there any reply on this?

I went through the manual but the minimum install as laid out in the manual
does not support the initdb command for postgresql.

Hi Stuart,

Yes, it was the problem with the readline 4.2, thanks for the help! Now I
could succesfully compile everything. Unfortunately it did not solve the
problem. I still do not have port 5432 open ... :-(

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org)
