That is exactly the problem, and your solution did work. I do believe
this represents a bug. It did install, however, it complained in the
last few lines of installation about 2 missing files /usr/bin/postmaster
& /usr/bin/psql I think.... I will be installing the other pg related
files in an effort to clear this up. Any help is appreciated.
