broke postgres, how to fix??

[JD Wong <jdmswong@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried copying postgres over to a new directory.  it was working until I deleted a bunch of databases from the "old" postgres.  Lo and behold this somehow broke the "new" copy too.

Now when I start with pg_ctl

2013-02-22 18:36:13 EST DETAIL:  The database subdirectory "base/1066060" is missing.

2013-02-22 18:36:25 EST FATAL:  database "wormmine" does not exist

2013-02-22 18:36:25 EST DETAIL:  The database subdirectory "base/1027296" is missing.

2013-02-22 18:37:13 EST FATAL:  database "wormmine-dev" does not exist

and it won't start...

How can I fix this?  re-creating these databases with the old postgres didn't work...

Also, why did this happen?  I created a new data directory for the new postgres, this should be impossible....

I have no ideas left, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
