Hi, gentoo rocks ! 

I tried to install PostgresQL on Gentoo
using the package dev-db/postgresql-7.0.3.tbz2 
without succsess. I get the following error
when I run initdb to initialize the postgres on
disk data structures:

bash-2.04# rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/*
bash-2.04# su postgres
bash-2.04$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Wht does the this error mean?
ERROR:  Error: unknown type 'ame'.

Any comments?
