Richard,

Perhaps, first time install...........
./configure -> ran OK
gmake -> ran OK
su -> I misunderstood and did NOT do this
gmake install -> sudo gmake install ran OK
So, I want to:
- create a DB with me as owner
adduser postgres-> skip?
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
su - postgres ->skip?
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
