InitDB Failure - PostgreSQL 7.2, RedHat 7.3, compile from source

Hi,

Sorry to ask this question straight out but I wasn't sure where else to get an answer! 

Due to the 32 character limit on column/table names, we needed to recompile PostgreSQL from the source with updated
settings. It compiles fine, but on running initdb, we get the following output:
 

------------------------------------
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

Fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok

template1

initdb failed.
---------------------------------

Can anyone shed some light on this just by looking at it?  Two of us have wasted basically an entire day getting to
thispoint and would appreciate any assistance.  We may end up having to settle with 64 characters and install the
latestRC :-) However ideally we'd like to be able to go beyond 64.
 

Cheers,

Chris

Without bothering to examine the details, I'll bet you didn't do a full
recompile.  You need "make clean" then "make all" after changing
settings such as this one.

Note that the reason 7.3 defaults to 64, and not more, is that we
measured noticeable performance degradation at 128 and beyond.
