We've seen that reported before. IIRC, it is possible to have dynamic-linking problems with loading the pg_conversion support libraries, and the 7.3 version of initdb has a bad habit of sending the resulting error messages to /dev/null rather than letting you know there's a problem. You might try initdb -d -D some_junk_directory 2>initdb.err (beware, this will produce megabytes worth of uninteresting messages on stderr), and then looking at the last few hundred lines for relevant error messages. I spent a little time digging in the archives for previous reports, without much success, but I remember it's come up before. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
