Hi Alvaro, I just compiled version 9.1.3 and got quite the same error.
I still do not have any clue what to change, as the compile runs successfully without any error.

I asked my AIX systems administrator for support on this issue. However they had no idea what kind of strace I could run to get more detailed information. Could you please give me any advice how to trace this bug? Attached you find the debugging output of initdb. This is the only information I have at the moment. Maybe this helps a little bit.

Maybe the operating system is silently failing the mkdir() calls. Would you run it under some sort of strace equivalent? --- End forwarded message --- -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org> http://nsg.com/disclaimer -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
