The program "postmaster" was found by
"/home/gevik/postgres/build2/bin/pg_ctl"
but was not the same version as pg_ctl.

Maybe you did something that broke recognition of the "-V" command-line option?
What happens when you do "postmaster -V"?

Check the path of pg_ctl and postmaster, you must have two versions on
the machine somewhere.

Problem solved.

I added some printf statements in order do print some debug information.

The tools like pg_ctl always run postmaster -V in order to get the version
number. The printf statements that I added, printed extra info which pg_ctl
could not "understand". Therefore I got the error.

Gevik
