I downloaded the sources to 6.5.1 and built them on my Sparc2. The compile
went fine (though it took forever :).
I've installed the binaries, initdb'ed the data. Postgres starts on boot
using the postgres init script.
When I try to run psql against template1 (as user postgres) it just hangs
there forever. The postmaster loads and proceeds to take 70% to 80% of cpu
time. Normally I kill this process after a few minutes...
The last log message says "InitPostgres." Does this process take awhile
with a new (clean) install? I have another machine (granted, much faster)
that was up and running in a few seconds.
Any direction would be appreciated.
