Forum OpenACS Q&A: pq_recvbuf error installing PostgreSQL

I just did a clean install of PostgreSQL 7.0 on a RedHat Linux system and the installation appeared to go smoothly. However, when I tried testing it, I got the following error:
> createdb testdb
> psql testdb
...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
and the postmaster output shows the following message:
pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection
Has anyone ever seen this error before?

Thanks alot.

If you're installing clean, why don't you just install PostgreSQL 7.1? And no, I haven't seen that error before. Sorry 😟
