FATAL: XX000 en compilacion postgresql 7.4.2

Amigos Listeros:

Al compilar postgresql (tengo Slackware 9.1), hago el procedimiento de fábrica ( ./configure --with-python && gmake ...) y se instala bien, luego creo el usuario y todo, pero al momento de hacer initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data me sale esto:

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 es_ES.

creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok
selecting default max_connections... 100
selecting default shared_buffers... 1000
creating configuration files... ok
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1... FATAL: XX000: failed to initialize lc_messages to ""
LOCATION: InitializeGUCOptions, guc.c:1866

initdb: failed
initdb: removing data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data"

Me gustariá saber que paso, además cuando hago el cambio de root a postgres me sale esto:

/dev/pts/14: Operation not permitted

Gracias de antemano
