The RPMs install into a different directory hierarchy than the default
configuration from source.  You ought to read all file name references in
the documentation as effectively being followed by "or the equivalent
location in your installation".

There's a file README.rpm in /usr/share/doc/postgresql-* (or equivalent
path in your installation :-) ) that describes the directory layout and
other things.

Look into README.rpm for how to run the tests.  The tests are not really
designed to be run from a binary package, therefore the procedure is
somewhat different.
