title: PostgreSQL "initdb" (Database Initialization) on Linux
body: <p>I'm working on creating a Database Cluster (single database) in PostgreSQL 9.x working on a Linux system (CentOS - RedHat - Fedora).  I've installed the correct PostgreSQL packages (server &amp; client) however, I'm unable to create a database and get some type of <em>initializing dependencies error: Bus Error / Exit Code 135</em>.  I've changed my user to "postgres" with "su postgres" and then tried to initialize the database with "initdb" (this may be the problem)</p>
  
  <pre><code>Installed: postgresql-libs-9.2.13-1.el7_1.x86_64

  <p><strong>Error:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
  The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
  This user must also own the server process.
  
  The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.utf8".
  The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
  The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

  <p>Any ideas?</p>
