To install them I did an "rpm -ivh post*". I'm using RedHat 6 on x86 with 64 Meg Ram and 300 Meg of HD space left. I used "initdb -l /usr/lib/pgsql -r /var/lib/pgsql/data -u postgres -d" to initialyse the database (This is what they say in the manual). Running with debug mode on. initdb: using /usr/lib/pgsql/local1_template1.bki.source as input to create the template database. initdb: using /usr/lib/pgsql/global1.bki.source as input to create the global classes. initdb: using /usr/lib/pgsql/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based authentication control file. We are initializing the database system with username postgres (uid=104). This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

Can someone help me? > David Godin > godind@REMOVE_THIS.voxco.com I have installed postgres on a few Debian systems - and have been able to test the postgresql database just fine right out of the box.
