I'm using the PGDG 8.3.3 rpms on Centos 5.2 mysql. Those do have
initdb. On older pgsql init scripts, it would automagically initdb
when needed, which was deemed (right so) to be a dangerous way of
doing things. I'd highly suggest downloading and installing the pgsql
8.3.3 PGDG rpms, or pointing your server at a repo that has them.

yep. older init script / not PGDG one for 8.3.3. that one likely does
the automagic initdb for you first time you run it.
