Im getting this error when trying to start postgres:

FATAL:  could not create lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock":
Permission denied

im running under an unprivileged user, and have set up pgsql in a
different place on my hard drive then the normal one. The user does not
have rights to /tmp, how can i set this up so the tmp file are written
into a place where the permissions are ok?
