Have you run initdb? My guess is no.
Also, when you run initdb, the data directory it uses (I use /var/lib/pgsql,
which I set up by having my .zshrc file export PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql
for my postgres account) needs to be the same as that passed to postmaster
via the -D option.
Oh, initdb really should be run as the postgres user. Definately not as
root! Make sure your permissions are set up ahead of time!
