Hello Guys,

I am getting an floating exception while running initdb from custom
built postgresql . I am using suse linux for installing postgresql.

initDB.sh: line 14: 20285 Floating point exception$pgsql_home/bin/initdb
-A password -U postgres --pwfile="pwFile" -E UTF8 -D postgresql/data
/log/initDB.log

--Warning. PostgreSQL database can't be initialized successfully,
please manually create schema or migrate encyclopedia DB after
initialized the

Same thing works on redhat machine without any issues.Following link
