Success. You can now start the database server using:

    /usr/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
or
    /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l
logfile start

bash-2.05b$ postmaster -d /usr/local/pgsql/data
FATAL:  invalid value for option
'server_min_messages': 'debug/usr/local/pgsql/data'
bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/postmaster -d
/usr/local/pgsql/data
FATAL:  invalid value for option
'server_min_messages': 'debug/usr/local/pgsql/data'
bash-2.05b$

Are you using the Postgres software that came with RedHat 9.0 ?
