I tried the following:

-bash-2.05b$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql.old/data
FATAL 2: The database cluster was initialized with LC_COLLATE
'de_DE.UTF-8' and
LC_CTYPE 'de_DE.UTF-8', but the server was compiled without
locale support.
It looks like you need to initdb or recompile.
-bash-2.05b$

Then:

-bash-2.05b$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

initdb: The directory /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/ exists but is not empty.
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/ or run initdb with
an argument other than /var/lib/pgsql.old/data/.
-bash-2.05b$

How can I recompile? Or is there another possibility?
