[check_postgres] install (test) problems

[Rob Sargent]

Correct initdb is not in my path.  But I'm not sure I want it to be.  I 
have an instance postgres of postgres already and don't want another.  
Also the intended target of check_postgres is not on my machine.  
Perhaps I should just skip the 'make test' step and go to 'make install'?
