initdb is failing on Centos 7 with 10.4 because the install procedure does not change the ownership of the /usr/local/pgsql directory to postgres. 

Changing the ownership fixes the problem, but the install procedure should do this. 


Are you using the PGDG repo packages, or the default CentOS repo packages? You should use PGDG and those should install under /var/lib/pgsql.

I was installing from source code, so I did a configure and a build (as postgres) and then an install (as root).
