anyone who can help me .

* Starting PostgreSQL ...
* Please see log file:
/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.log [ !! ]

and my postgresql.log is

FATAL: syntax error in file
"/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf" line 2,
near token "/"

I dont'n know what is wrong with the postgresql.conf

Here is the config file
postgresql.conf

# PostgreSQL's Database Directory
PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data

# Logfile path: (NOTE: This must be uid/gid owned by
the value of $PGUSER!)
PGLOG=/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.log

# Run the PostgreSQL user as:
PGUSER=postgres

# Extra options to run postmaster with.
# If you want to enable TCP/IP for PostgreSQL, add -i
to the following:
PGOPTS="-N 1024 -B 2048 -i"

#tcpip_socket = true

What you have there is not a valid postgresql.conf file at all.  Please
read up on the documentation and write a valid one.

# PostgreSQL's Database Directory
PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data

Is this all you have in the postgresql.conf file??? That file is usually
full with settings(most of them optional) but still...
Are u sure?

Just guessing :
The guy probably posted a conf file used by gentoo internaly NOT
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf .
