Hi!
Thanks to all the people who helped!
Concerning: Rookie in installation-trouble -> PLEEEASE HELP
I had made a very silly mistake concerning the directories used with the
./conifgure --prefix=...........
command.
Tried another installation and - with another cry for help (Didn't know how to do "Step 8" of the installation guide) - it seems to work until now.
Concerning: Installation-trouble
Just missed step 8 of the installation guide (Actually didn't know how to do it!).
For all other helpless lemminglike rookies:
uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql
uranus% gunzip postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz
uranus% tar -xf postgresql-7.0.3.tar
uranus% cd postgresql-7.0.3/src
uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local
uranus% ./configure --prefix=/home/lange/pgsql/local
uranus% gmake
All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install
uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/test/regress
uranus% gmake clean
uranus% gmake all
uranus% gmake runcheck
uranus% cd /home/lange/pgsql/postgresql-7.0.3/src/
uranus% gmake install
Thank you for choosing PostgreSQL, the most advanced open source database
engine.
uranus% mkdir /home/lange/pgsql/local/data
uranus% chown lange /home/lange/pgsql/local/data
uranus% su - lange

Success. You can now start the database server using:
/home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/postmaster -D /home/lange/pgsql/local/data
or
/home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/pg_ctl -D /home/lange/pgsql/local/data start
uranus% /home/lange/pgsql/local/bin/postmaster -D /home/lange/pgsql/local/data&
