Обсуждение: initdb Error: 'oid8'

Hello,

Does anyone know what the unknow error type 'oid8' generated
by initdb means (v7.0 under linux)?

postgres@mbspc:~ > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

That's different --- usually we've heard about complaints mentioning
'oidvector' from people who've tried to initdb with 7.0 library files
and a pre-7.0 postgres executable.  Looks like you've managed to feed
pre-7.0 library files to a 7.0 executable.  Check your PGLIB environment
setting...
