"Unrecognized variable client_encoding"

Hi folks,

Have a new install on Red Hat 6.2. Everything compiled fine, and
seems to work OK. But when I created a new user, I got this error,
although the user was created fine, and seems to work fine. When I
create a database, I also get this error, but again, it seems to work
fine. I haven't actually tried to do much yet - I've got a database
to re-create - but I wanted to know if this was something that will
be a problem, or I should just ignore it.

Thanks.

Michelle

Re: "Unrecognized variable client_encoding"

Sounds like you are running a client library that was compiled with
MULTIBYTE support with a backend that was not. This combination is
harmless except for the warning notice that you get from the client
trying to set the server's character set encoding. However, if you
needed MULTIBYTE support in your backend, better recompile ...
