[Gnumed-devel] bootstrap on Mandriva - again

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Here are some infos on what works and what does not.

the good:

Default cluster encoding is SQL_ASCII. One can change that by passing 
--locale=de_DE.UTF-8 to initdb.

This creates a cluster that will actually be accepted by the bootstrap script.

I will send ways to accomplish that in another mail.

the bad:

What does not work is passing
--locale=UTF8 to intidb

This will create a cluster with UTF-8 encoding but the bootstrap script 
complains because it is missing a dot somewhere. I guess this is because 
collation and Ctype get set to UTF-8 instead of de_DE.UTF-8.

Is this something to fix (i.e not bail out on the missing dot ). If you need 
it I can produce a bootstrap log that will show the exact error.

In any case make sure that the package postgresql-plpgsql is installed. If it 
is not installed the boostrap script will bail out because it cannot access a 
missing path. If you need a log for that I can create one.
