error starting the server 7.3.2

I installed PostgreSQL 7.3.2 binary via Redhat 8 RPM. When I tried to start the server, I got the following error:

 

[postgres@lbslnx05 postgresql]$ pg_ctl start -D /opt/postgresql/data -o "-i"

postmaster successfully started

[postgres@lbslnx05 postgresql]$ FATAL:  File /opt/postgresql/data/PG_VERSION is

missing. This is not a valid data directory.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Didn't see a reply to this, I suspect your trying to start a database
that hasn't had initdb run. Oddly, initdb doesn't seem to be mention in
the long install instructions...

See the following for more info:
