Обсуждение: initdb and OSX why must I --no-locale
I've just finished the install of 7.3 release on mac OSX 10.2.2. I notice that initdb will permit me to init a directory for use, then when running postmaster using the directory I get a fatal error: FATAL: invalid value for option 'LC_TIME': 'en' Shouldn't initdb check and not init with this locale.. I had to delete, then re-init. Not a real big deal, just annoying to do something twice. BTW, what is the problem with OSX that it requires --no-locale?

Are you sure it didn't say 'en_US' ? That's what I get on OSX if
I don't set LANG to C (or equivalently use --no-locale).

Apple's locale handling seems to be fairly broken. They should not set
LANG to a value that their own library won't accept. I'd suggest filing
a bug report with them.

I will send the bug report copying what is said here to Apple. I copied and pasted the error message here so it did not say 'en_US'.
