On this page:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/creating-cluster.html

It has this sequence:

root# mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# su postgres
postgres$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

However, initdb will fail in this case, since the /usr/local/pgsql dir 
is NOT owned by postgres.  (This came up on IRC helping someone)

Should it in fact be:

root# chown -R postgres /usr/local/pgsql
