Since you installed from rpms, everything is in /var/lib/pgsql. You do not need to set any environment variables. Just start working.

I installed the items to be found at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/RPMS/ , which are rpm files for Postgres, into
Redhat Linux.
While they appear to have been installed directly, there is no
/usr/local/pgsql/ or /usr/local/pgsql/bin directory. Rather various files
have been installed in /usr/bin/.
But I am not sure all have been installed.
In any event, the documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/doxlist.html
states:
"Add the following lines to your login environment: shell, ~/.bash_profile:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/pgsql/man
PGLIB=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
export PATH MANPATH PGLIB PGDATA"
For me, this is impossible, as I do not have any /usr/local/pgsql directory.
Nor will the postmaster start until and unless I provide it with the correct
environmental information.
Since I have installed from rpm's, there must be a set, known set of
environmental features. I would appreciate being provided with this
information.

Duncan C. Kinder
