Hi, I am a newbie for pgsql and tried to install it on my MacBookPro Intel. I got everything correct until creating the user: postgres and initdb, then the error message showed up for running the db. How to fix the problem?

LizheXusComputer:/Users/lizhexu pgsql$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
[1] 17837
LizheXusComputer:/Users/lizhexu pgsql$ su: logfile: Permission denied

[1]+  Exit 1                  /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1
LizheXusComputer:/Users/lizhexu pgsql$ su lizhexu

LizheXusComputer:~ lizhexu$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &

LizheXusComputer:~ lizhexu$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
[1]+  Exit 2                  /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1


Thank you very much.
