The usual. What OS, what method of installation, what pg version etc.
Also exact things you did / typed in to get that error message etc.
for instance in ubuntu I'd just do this:

sudo pg_createcluster -p54321 8.4 mycluster

to do this. But on other OSes the steps may be quite different. So,
what exactly are you doing to try and make this happen?
