        initdb is failing on Centos 7 with 10.4 because the install

    Are you using the PGDG repo packages, or the default CentOS repo
    packages? You should use PGDG and those should install under
    /var/lib/pgsql.

I was installing from source code, so I did a configure and a build (as postgres) and then an install (as root).

Then setting up the $DATADIR is on you:

Shouldn't this also be mentioned in the INSTALL file in the source directory then?
