i am trying to install postgresql-8.0.1

i am now trying to do

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D data/

 

however this is what i get:

 

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "surabi".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UNICODE.
