Hi!

I installed POSTGRES yesterday and it was all fine.

I have installed it in the $HOME directory of the user named postgres.

Yesterday all the data files were moved to a new hard disk by our system administrator. 

Today I get the following errors:


%createdb foo
FATAL 1:Oct  7 22:52:57:database template1 does not exist, bailing out...
/db/postgres/bin/createdb: database creation failed on foo.
%initdb
initdb: error:  files not there
initdb: bmake install has not been run or you're trying to run initdb on a
initdb: machine that does not store the database (PGHOST doesn't work for this)
%ps
  PID TT STAT  TIME COMMAND
 3267 pd IW    0:00 -csh (csh)

%pwd
/db/postgres/src
%echo $PGDATA
/db/postgres




Could you please tell me what is wrong?

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,
