Re: Can't change LC_CTYPE/locale

Thanks for the response, Tom. Looks like the problem was a bad
directory given to pg_ctl for my start script. It was pointing to
/usr/local/pgsql/data, not /var/lib/pgsql/data. I think I might've had
two identical databases in different directories... Seems to be fixed
now, though.

I appreciate your time! :-)

Rgds,

Bret
