   Juergen Nagel (Juergen-Nagel@gmx.de) reports a bug with a severity of 2
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   installation fails
   
   Long Description
   The error happens when it comes to point 9 in the INSTALL file:
       > mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
       > chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
       > su - postgres
       > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
   
   When I enter the last command, the following error message appears
   initdb: pg_encoding failed
   Perhaps you did not configure PostgreSQL for multibyte support or
   the program was not successfully installed.
   
   Sample Code

   Do step 8 before step 9.
