global/pg_database ?

Posting again as even though I receive mail from hackers I am apparently
not a member (registered correctly as prlw1(at)cam(dot)ac(dot)uk - from will say
prlw1(at)newn(dot)cam(dot)ac(dot)uk - setting reply-to to prlw1(at)cam(dot)ac(dot)uk used to get
around it..)

and it's true..

all but geometry (rounding errors) pass gmake runcheck

then did the initdb

This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
or
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start


Any ideas?
