I just installed postgresql-7.1.3-2 by RPM, and have been following the
instructions at www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?creating-cluster.html

These instructions say, "To initialize a database cluster, use the command
initdb, which is installed with PostgreSQL." However, i have no such program
on my system.

$ rpm -ql postgresql | grep initdb
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.1.3/html/app-initdb.html

That's it.

Are these instructions outdated, or do i need to install initdb some other
way?

(Please cc: me in the response; i know it's bad netiquette, but i'm not
