You can let the packaged initscript do it for you, as long as there is
no previous database structure in place under /var/lib/pgsql -- you
would want to remove everything below that dir EXCEPT the subdirs data
and backups, as well as .bash_profile.
Execute as root '/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start' and it will both
initdb and start the postmaster for you.
