Hi,
What database version are you using? 7.2.1 is the latest.
Is your data directory really /home/pgsql?
This should be the same path you used initdb on.
If you have PG_DATA set then you don't need the -D option.
I just used (for instance):
postgres -O -P template1
you can give your database name instead of template1
hth,
