I think you are posting to the wrong mailing list.

http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/

The description of this list is: "The PostgreSQL developers team lives
here. Discussion of current development issues, problems and bugs, and
proposed new features. If your question cannot be answered by people
in the other lists, and it is likely that only a developer will know
the answer, you may re-post your question in this list. You must try
elsewhere first!"

You should probably try this question on pgsql-general or
pgsql-novice, but at a guess, you're going to need to run the initdb
program to initialize your database cluster, and then pg_ctl to fire
up the server.
