You have to be root to use adduser. Or maybe you're missing a package
that provides it.

However, if you're starting to work an a new application, you should
choose a more recent release of Postgres. 8.2.5 is currently the latest one.

You should consider installing 8.2.5 instead.  There are many
enhancements, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

Did you try useradd instead?

Please note that issues like this are better suited to a list like
admin than bugs.
