postgres on gentoo.

[Zep <zgreenfelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

did you ever get past your problem?   I saw a post in a search, but 
never really saw the solution.   original link I found:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2005-07/msg00166.php

I (believe) the correct solution for postgres on gentoo linux is:

   mkdir /var/lib/postgresql
   chown postgres /var/lib/postgresql
   su postgres -c "initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/data/"
   ls /var/lib/postgresql/data/
   /etc/init.d/postgresql start
