It looks to me like you tried to start the postmaster with a relative
PGDATA path (something like "postmaster -D ."). Try an absolute
path instead.
(IIRC, PG 7.1 and later will accept a relative path, but earlier versions
don't cope. If you are indeed running something older than 7.1, it's
definitely a good idea to update.)
