Re: cannot initdb

Anyone have any ideas yet? I'm still getting nothing from anyone on this
list or the FreeBSD lists - I'm not complaining that I'm not getting
anything, since all help is out of goodwill - just stating I still have
nothing on this. If anyone has successfully installed PostgreSQL in a
jail on FreeBSD, I'd appreciate the insight. Thanks,

Joe
