then why are you using CentOS/RHEL ? those are by design RPM managed distribution, and rpms with their service scripts etc tend to be pretty fixed about where they need to be. things like selinux all need to know where the components live.

the yum.postgresql.org RPMs all install the binary code to /usr/pgsql-X.Y/ and default the database location to /var/lib/pgsql/X.Y/data... if I need the data on a dedicated volume, I tend to mount said volume to /var/lib/pgsql before I initialize the database. reason I do the pgsql dir and not the version specific data directory is so pg_upgrade can use link mode to upgrade a cluster.
