It's been a few years since I've used SUSE, but I'm guessing that you
need to start it as a service from a file in the /etc/init.d
directory, or something like that.
Note that 8.1.5 is a bit out of date, but I don't know if SUSE
backports bug fixes to earlier versions or releases whole new
versions. 8.1.x is up to 8.1.11 now, so you should look at updating
to that version while you're doing all this.
If you must start it by hand, then use initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
first to initialize the db.
