Is this running on a virtual hosting provider somewhere? If so, which one?

... hang on. Did you have anything else in /var/lib/pgsql before running
this install? If you had an old version that you didn't clean out in
there, I'd expect problems.

It's usually wise to install custom-compiled software to a prefix that
doesn't already contain anything else, like --prefix=/opt/pgsql-9.0.1 .
That way it's easy to delete, easy to keep separate from other things, etc.
