In each case, initdb completes successfully. In each case when postmaster is run it core dumps. In each case if I run postmaster by specifying its full path length, postmaster will run. In most cases when I attempt to run createdb, I am given an error message stating that the database model template1 does not exist (even though initdb completed without complaint). Running createuser has essentially the same effect. The case in which I was able to successfully run createuser and createdb was on a machine I did not have root access on, hence I had to set the variables BINGRP, BINOWN, LIBGRP, LIBOWN, MANGRP, and MANOWN. Has anyone had similar problems? I suspect my next step may be to try building postgres with the aforementioned variables set to postgres.
