Questo è il log:
root@localhost root]# su postgres
bash-2.05b$ initdb –D /var/lib/pgsql/data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

Fixing permissions on existing directory /var/lib/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/1... ok

Success. You can now start the database server using:

/usr/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
or
/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -l logfile start

bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl start –D /var/lib/pgsql/data
pg_ctl: invalid operation mode: –D
Try 'pg_ctl --help' for more information.
bash-2.05b$ psql lucio
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
bash-2.05b$ psql template1
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

nessuno puo' aiutarmi?

[hilo]

purtroppo non uso postgres da troppo tempo; al massimo ti rimando alla documentazione

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7/int...start27628.htm
e
man psql

se poi, vuoi usare delle interfacce grafiche
