In the following snippet from ./src/backend/commands/dbcommands.c, I
cannot see anywhere in the configuration where ALLOW_ABSOLUTE_DBPATHS
gets set, and why this wouldn't be the default anyway. I was creating
databases fine, but
it is possible that I exported PGDATA2, and used this, as I see that
this ifndef definition does not exist in the environment variable
portion of the code.
Anyway, I have been using 7.2.3 on HPUX 11.0
Any thoughts?
There was a post on the 10th in the bugs discussion,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2002-11/msg00080.php but the
reply seems to have an html source issue
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2002-11/msg00067.php
I am basically having the same problem, but see in the source where the
issue is.
