Strange code in initdb

Shouldn't the second progname be argv[0] or something else that contains

argv[0] doesn't necessarily contain the full path. Is it worth calling
find_my_exec() here to produce an absolute path? Possibly...

regards, tom lane

I have modified these reports so they print the full path used.

Typical pg_dumpall output is:

The program "pg_dump" is needed by pg_dumpall but was not found in the
same directory as "/usr/local/postgres/bin/pg_dumpall".
Check your installation.

What is this trying to tell us?

if (ret == -1)
fprintf(stderr,
_("The program \"postgres\" is needed by %s "
"but was not found in the same directory as \"%s\".\n"
"Check your installation.\n"),
progname, progname);
else
fprintf(stderr,
_("The program \"postgres\" was found by %s "
"but was not the same version as \"%s\".\n"
"Check your installation.\n"),
progname, progname);

Shouldn't the second progname be argv[0] or something else that contains
the full path?

Yes, that is what I thought it should have been. There are similar pieces of
code in pg_dumpall, initdb, pg_ctl, and maybe elsewhere. Did you get them
all?
