Re: library path

Thanks for your response. This is the first and only install of PG on this
box, so that sounds a bit strange. I have no other installations the check
for, unless one comes standard with Red Hat 6.0.

I have updated the PGLIB setting (to /usr/local/pgsql/lib) and now get this
message:
* * *
initdb does not find the file
'/usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source'
-
This means you have identified an invalid PGLIB directory, etc.
* * *
I checked in the PGLIB directory and only see files that start with libpq*,
libe*, or libpq*. Am I missing any files?

Thanks in advance-

7.1's initdb script contains no such error message. I suspect you are
invoking the wrong version of initdb, ie one left over from an older
PG installation. Check your PATH.
