The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 2993
Logged by: Filippo Toso
Email address: filippotoso(at)libero(dot)it
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3
Operating system: Windows 2000 SP4
Description: The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not
found ...
Details:
Hi,
I have downloaded the postgresql-8.2.3-1-binaries-no-installer.zip package.
I have extracted it into C:\pgsql, I have created the C:\pgsql\data and then
I have executed the following command (as Administrator):
C:\pgsql\bin\initdb.exe -D C:\pgsql\data
With the following result:
###########################################################################
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "C:/pgsql/bin/initdb.exe".
Check your installation.
###########################################################################
The "postgres" command is in the "C:/pgsql/bin/" folder and if I execute
"C:\pgsql\bin\postgres.exe -V" I get:
postgres (PostgreSQL) 8.2.3
If I execute the same command as a low privileged user initdb works
correctly.
Accordingly to the initdb.c CVS log this problem should have been solved one
year ago with Revision 1.108.
Do you think this is a bug or there is something I'm doing wrong?
Sincerely,
Filipo Toso
