I recently decided I would install Postgres 7.1.3 server on a Linux
Redhat 7.1 server.

I downloaded the following RPMS and installed them in this order with
no apparent problems.

postgresql-libs-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
postgresql-server-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm

Now where to from here?

I did this

adduser database
su database
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

but all I got was that the file didnt exist?

Am I doing something wrong?  Have I missed a vital component/step?

Regards

James Szabadics
