problema creando la db

Saludos,

tengo el siguiente problema creando la base de datos, alguien tiene una idea
de lo que es?:

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

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
