HP-UX 11.11

PostgreSQL Version 7.4


installation to non default location

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql74


After make and instalation which appears to have worked, the initdb process
fails with the following.

creating conversions... ERROR: could not access file
"$libdir/ascii_and_mic": N
o such file or directory


Example:

$ /usr/local/pgsql74/bin/initdb -D /pgsql
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

Based on some simple testing it appears initdb is looking for the files in
the default location not the prefix location.

On a test system copied directory /usr/local/pgsql74 to /usr/local/pgsql and
did"/usr/local/pgsql74/bin/initdb -D /pgsql". This worked.
