I don't know what Mandrake 7 is, but for my RedHat 6.1 system I installed
the rpms and then ran "initdb --pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql
--pblib=/usr/lib/pgsql" .  Then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start"

		I have install the RPMs at came with my Mandrake
distribution, but when
		I try to connect I get a postmaster error.  So, how do I get
the
		postmaster running?  Or better yet, just what do I do after
installing
		the RPMs?  I have tried to find the answer in the
documentation, but
		they are written for a binary or source installation.  Any
suggestions?
