The initdb command is part of postgres itself, not part of the ruby  
package. You need to install postgres, or set your path properly to have  
this command available. This issue is entirely related to your postgres  
configuration and has nothing to do with ruby or metasploit.

There are 64 people in the silc channel. The channel name is 'metasploit'  
and the server is 'silc.hick.org'. The upside to having the channel on a  
weird little network using a weird little protocol is it limits the amount  
of drama :-)
