problem start database

hi,

i have a problem when i run the initdb file, do you know anything?

bash-2.05b$ /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/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.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
