Hi,

I had the postgresql version 8.2, but i´ve updated it to the 8.3.
During the installation, postresql show this message "Failed to run
initdb: 1". I already tried to remove and reinstall, but it does not
works.

Did anyone know how can i solve this problem?

Thanks

I'm afraid my mind reading device is offline today, could you provide
the following information:

- What OS?
- How did you try to install the 8.3 version? Packaged or compiled
yourself?
- What exactly did you type?
- What was the exact error message?
- How was your 8.2 installation installed?
- Which documentation/google searches have you already tried to resolve
this?

Thanks in advance,
