1 Hi, gentoo rocks !
2
3 I tried to install PostgresQL on Gentoo
4 using the package dev-db/postgresql-7.0.3.tbz2
5 without succsess. I get the following error
6 when I run initdb to initialize the postgres on
7 disk data structures:
8
9 bash-2.04# rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/*
10 bash-2.04# su postgres
11 bash-2.04$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql
12 This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
13 This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.
