I'm installing postgresql-8.4.2-1-linux.bin in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
 
I got the following message:  database cluster initialization failed
 
I've searched the archive and have seen the same question posted for windows.
 
Anyone have an answer for Linux? 
 
Is there any 'cheat sheet' for a Linux installation.  I've seen the full manual, but it has no simple set of instructions for installation.
 
 
Any advice will be most appreciated.
 
Jerry
