For Fedora/Red Hat RPMs, we put the data under /var/lib/pgsql, and IIRC
SuSE RPMs also use that directory. Also, RPMs should honor LFH (Linux
Filesystem Hierarchy), and not to pub the binaries
under /usr/local/pgsql/bin.

The RPMs that you downloaded are probably for Red Hat, and cannot be
rebuilt on SuSE. AFAIK http://software.opensuse.org/ should have RPMs
and even SRPMs for SLES and such.
