Thanks for all the help - I needed to an initdb and then I also had to do:
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/pat/archives/postgresql-client-8.4_8.4.3-1_i386.deb
but it's finally working!! Now I just have to get all my data back but after
this headache I think that will be comparatively easy!
Thanks for all the help!
