我该如何解决PostgreSQL的“ Aborted（core dumped）”错误？

Question

I am trying to install postgreSQL-9.6.4 on Ubuntu 14.04. But when I am running ' initdb ' to create database cluster, it shows error.

$ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install
$ make
$ make install
$ initdb -U user1 -D /path/to/install/data

When I run the ' initdb ', it shows the following error:

Aborted (core dumped)
child process exited with exit code 134
initdb: removing contents of data directory "/path/to/install/data"

Any help?

Answer 1

Exit status 134 means that the process was called by a SIGABRT signal, since that signal has number 6, and 128 + 6 = 134.

Your process probably failed an assert(3) assertion. Did you ./configure --with-cassert ?

Try to read the core dump with gdb and use bt to get a back trace. That should tell you where exactly execution failed, so you can fix the problem.
