You have an old (7.1) version installed on that directory. If you took
backups, you need to remove /var/lib/pgsql/data directory, recreate it
with postgres user, and initdb that directory before you can start
PostgreSQL.

Probably:

service postgresql initdb
service postgresql start

will do the work for you.
