6.4.1 problem
Having a bit of a problem gettin 6.4.1 running on RH 5.1. Source went
into /usr/src/pgsql and runtime into /var/lib/pgsql [RH default dir
for postgresql].
Everything went without a problem until the initdb process, which
keeps failing with the error messages below....PGLIB & PBDATA paths
correctly functioning, environment seems proper, postgres has correct
permissions, etc, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated...

Summary: If you build Postgresql from the source distribution, ensure
that you remove the RH rpm package(s) first. This avoids getting the
wrong executables durint initdb and such.
I had this type of problem on one of my RH/Linux installations. It turned
out that RH has a /usr/bin/initdb. I should have been running the
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb.
I removed the postgres RPM package(s) and tried again. All went well.
