Problem with initdb

hi,

i try to install the pgsql versin 7.3.4. on a new computer.

The installing steps where sucsessful:
./configure
gmake
su
gmake install
adduser postgres
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
su - postgres

when i try to create thr db-cluster with "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data"
the initdb-tool shows this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
postgres@sgs2:/usr/local/pgsql/bin> ./initdb -d -D /usr/local/pgsql/testdata
Running with debug mode on.

initdb variables:
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/testdata
datadir=/usr/local/pgsql/share
PGPATH=.
ENCODING=
ENCODINGID=0
POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_BKI=/usr/local/pgsql/share/postgres.bki
POSTGRES_DESCR=/usr/local/pgsql/share/postgres.description
POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/local/pgsql/share/postgresql.conf.sample
PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/local/pgsql/share/pg_hba.conf.sample
PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/local/pgsql/share/pg_ident.conf.sample
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locales:

initdb failed.
Removing /usr/local/pgsql/testdata.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------

Since three last month runs the same version on an other computer fine.
The mashines are running under "suse 8.2". It was never a problem...

The new computer is very fast with 2 proc 2.6 GHz, 2 GB Ram and
IDE-RAID-Set...but i think it should be a problem for the db.?

Please, can you help me??

best regards from germany
