It wasn't installed with package manager; I downloaded and followed the PDF manual from the link ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/). But now while I installed it from source; if try to check it with (#rpm -q postgresql), I get "Package postgresql is not installed". I wonder the system doesn't show me the installed PostgreSQL; I can manually goto /usr/local/pgsql directory which contains my installed version.
Anyways, spent a whole day but couldn't yet figure out the actual problem.

Doesn't it come with the package manager and can't you not run it from init.d? If not, read the installation tutorial that comes with the source. But I hope you don't compile 8.2.11 now from source, right?
