Yes, Marc, I too am having problems since the new protocol cleanup went
in too.

It seems there is a new local hba_conf type, and I added that, but now
it core dumps.  I am stumped.

I am glad someone has gone through this code and has given it a good
cleaning, though.

I am sure it is something simply overlooked.

Hello,

    After a successful compile of the latest snapshot on an Alpha/Linux
machine, the initdb program dumps core, with the following message [I
hope this helps]:

[postgres@ac6 bin]$ ./initdb
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/local1_template1.bki.source as input
to create the template database.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/global1.bki.source as input to create
the global classes.
initdb: using /usr/local/pgsql/lib/pg_hba.conf.sample as the host-based
authentication control file.

We are initializing the database system with username postgres
(uid=501).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.

initdb: creating template database in
/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1
Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1
ERROR:  BuildFuncTupleDesc: function mkoidname(opaque, opaque) does not
exist
ERROR:  BuildFuncTupleDesc: function mkoidname(opaque, opaque) does not

initdb: could not create template database
initdb: cleaning up by wiping out /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1


Thanks,
