i think you where not preforming the the initialization as user postgres. and 
since postgres is system user with no password, so you , a normal user cant 
just su to it, you need to be root then su postgres , then perform the initdb 
procedure. 
check 
http://pgsqld.active-venture.com/app-initdb.html
and
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/install-short.html
Take this and adapt it to your system, your paths and locations would be 
different.

Cheers
