same postmaster, different directory? V7.0.2

Howdy, I was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm running Postgres
version 7.0.2,
and I have several existing databases in /var and wanted to put one in
/home, because of disk space.

my only problem is that It will not let me do so, no matter what.
Postgres was installed via rpm on RatHead 6.2
and if there is something I can edit in a source file, that is not a
problem.

Any thoughts? coments?

yes, I have RTFM'd
