Re: pgsql-admin-digest V1 #91

hi everyone!
           i decided to built postgresql from scratch instead of 
using the redhat .rpm format and am getting the following error 
which i was hoping someone could offer a fix 4:) when i su to 
'postgres' and get to the 'pgsql' prompt i attempt to do a 'initdb'
to initially create my database structure i get a:

ERROR: cannot read block 0 of pg_variable
initdb: could not create template database 
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /var/lib/pgsql/base/template1

... one other item i noticed doing a find for 'PG_VERSION' that it 
does not exist anywhere in the fs. Where and what strings should be
inserted in this file? your assistance is appreciated...
						TIA
