(I tried to send this off of my missing rpms thread, and I think it
might have gotten lost in the thread).

I just downloaded the PG 8.1.1 rhel-as-4 rpms and installed all of
them except for the python rpm.

However, when I run initdb --locale=C -D /<path to db> I get the following:
[postgres@edidb9 bin]$ initdb --locale=C -D /postgresql/50001/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

When I try to run /usr/bin/postgres -V - I get no results.

Not sure where to go from here.  Please let me know if you need more
information.

Thanks,

Chris
