The Postgresql version which comes with Suse 10.2 actually is 8.2.6.
If there is no reason to downgrade I would recommend to use 8.2.6 or at least
the latest from the 8.1.x version which is 8.1.11 actually.
You did not write what package exactly you installed, but I assume it is not a
Suse RPM. So you most probably have to initdb first. See chapter 16.2 of the
usermanual about details. If you use the Suse RPM install and start the
server with the script under /etc/rc.d the system would take care doing the
initdb for you.
Best regards
