I am having problems initializing the new version in /opt/pgsql-9.3.3. I
kill the postgres-9.0.5 process, and as user 'postgres' I tried to initdb
with this result:

initdb -D /opt/pgsql-9.3.3/9.3/data/
The program "postgres" was found by "/bin/initdb"
but was not the same version as initdb.
Check your installation.

When I ask which postgres I find:

[root(at)salmo ~]# ll /usr/bin/postgres
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Mar 17 06:50 /usr/bin/postgres ->
../lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres*

so I am confused on how I need to run initdb, or what I need to
rename/remove to initialize the new cluster so I can run pg_upgrade and move
the databases over.
