initdb problems

Well, initdb doesn't give the same errors, but it's still failing. Now
it's just saying:

with no other indication that it's failing. Heres the last bit of the
debug:

Inserting null
Insert Begin
InsertOneTuple oid 1219, 14 attrs

[postgres@maidast pgsql]$

Now, looking at local1_template1.bki.source it's the pg_inherits
definition that's failing. I don't know how the bki source works so I'm
not much help here, but I can't see anything obviously wrong.

I have tried to reproduce your problem but failed using recent
sources (my anon CVS is working now!). I reinstalled everything,
removed $PGDATA and ran initdb (I did not turn on MULTIBYTE).
I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE.

I got the same problem, running ldconfig namually solves this.

ldconfig solved an earlier but completely different problem - sadly.
