Can also use a startup script from the contrib directory of the source.

TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate
subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your
message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
Make sure that you initdb the postgresql cluster as the user "postgres"
not as "root".
So, after configuring, compiling, and installing the source, switch user
to "postgres" and run your initdb command.
