The problem is that he's trying to start the postmaster form the comand line,
executing it directly.

Lynn, if you installed PostgreSQL from the rpms that come with RH9 (or Lamars
rpms) just try starting PostgreSQL from the init script:

# /etc/init.d/postgresql start

That script will run initdb if necesary, and set the PGDATA environment
variable if needed also.

Good luck!
