Hey Guys,
	I cann't seem to get the initdb to work. Everything compiled fine..
well some spots had some warnings but I think that is normal.. when I run
initdb I get these errors.. I deleted some of the errors out of the middle 
since only the number changes... Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong.
I admit I am new to postgres and can use all the help I can get.
I am running slackware 1.2.0 with the 4.5.26 libs. If this make a difference.

Thanks

	-Dave-

Take a look at the files in ~postgres/data/files.  Replace PGUID
with postgres' user ID.  Have you created a user named "postgres"
at all?
