Hello,
I know that the reference platform for Gnumed is Debian, but I use
it under Ubuntu, and sometimes I run into Ubuntu-specific problems.
This time I tried to bootstrap the latest database, and was stopped
by the first check made by gm-bootstrap_server script.
The line below does not work in Ubuntu:
===========
if ! su -c "psql -t -d template1 -c \"show lc_ctype;\"" postgres |
grep -q -e C -e UTF-8 ; then
===========
Ubuntu has a little different security defaults and "su -c" is not
used (no user has a permission to do "su"). Instead, permission to
use "sudo" is granted.
This is no problem to me, but may confuse other users trying/
evaluating Gnumed.
Maybe it is worth mentioning in Wiki? I and others could then report
another Ubuntu-specific issues, which are important when building
the package for this distro.
