Brett,

  Just in case I mis-typed at the command line, I just tried the above. Same
error: cannot find database system (in /var/lib/pgsql/data, where it is)
and failed looking for /var/lib/pgsql/data/global/pg_control.

  The problem is that the file, pg_control is in /var/lib/pgsql/data. There
is no global/ directory.

Thanks,

Rich
