Re: Postmaster will not start

This isn't the problem. Historically I've always typed what I stated and
it's worked. The contents of /.bashrc is:
$ cat /.bashrc
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH PGDA

so this contains all the necessary information. Any other thoughts anybody?
