As suggested by Andrew, adduser was not in the path I was in.
[chauser(at)gulliver pgsql]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/adduser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 31 15:17 /usr/sbin/adduser -> useradd

If I understand, you are saying that by running 'adduser postgres' then
I would be running as root - bad form, and that I am better off using
creatdb.
so I should;
- mkdir usr/local/pgsql/data
- /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
- /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile
2>&1 &
- creatdb -U chauser -W test
- /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
