Hello All,

I am new to Postgresql, and Linux, so please forgive me if this is a
user error. ; I am trying to evaluate the Postgres DB; I have
downloaded postgresql-9.0.1-1-linux.bin from www.enterprisedb.com.
While running postgressql-9.0.1.1 installer on GNU/Linux i686 i686
i386, I got the following error:
