PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system: Red Hat 9, RHES 3.0 & Fedora Core 1

Description: initdb fails when using Turkish locale

Details:

Hi,

Last week was an "upgrade weekend", and we tried to install PostgreSQL 7.4.2
with Turkish locale.

OSes are, Red Hat Linux 9, RHES 3.0 and Fedora Core 1, having all the
updates done.

System locale is:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:tr_TR.UTF-8:tr_TR:tr"

PostgreSQL was configured with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql742 --enable-nls --without-tk
--without-tcl

and the initdb error:

[pgsql74(at)localhost pgsql74]$ /usr/local/pgsql742/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql742/data/ --locale=tr_TR
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"pgsql74".
This user must also own the server process.


The database cluster will be initialized with locale tr_TR.
