The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/install-procedure.html Description:
This might be a documentation issue, and it might be an actual issue, I'm not sure. I was following the installation instructions from the https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-procedure.html I used all of the defaults and steps 1 and 2 looked good, but when tried to run the regression tests in step 3, the database failed to load with the following error in "/Users/bfraser/tools/postgresql-14.5/src/test/regress/log/initdb.log": ===== dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.5.dylib Referenced from: /Users/bfraser/tools/postgresql-14.5/tmp_install/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb Reason: image not found ====== Based on the way to documentation reads currently, I'm thinking that the regression tests shouldn't depend on (and, if fact shouldn't even be looking at) any files in "/usr/local". After I ran step 4 (make install), the regression test worked perfectly. Run on MacOS 11.4, GNU Make 3.81
