If you compile/re-compile all databases are accesssible from one port.
The system table pg_database stores the path to the 'base' dir which can be in the user's dir.
Also in the pg_database table you can update the datdba field to change the owner of the database.
An example where this is very cool is if the user logs into their database via a web interface like
phpPgAdmin they can log into just their database and not anyone else's.
Pretty much ideal for a hosting situation.
Does anyone have the C compile flags handy ?
Cheers Best regards Rudi.

Hi!
I believe you don`t need to recompile, just
export PGDATA=/home/me/pgdata
pg_initdb
pg_ctl start
and ready to go.
If you do this, each separate instance needs a different port. That can be set in $PGDATA/postgresql.conf.
When you connect to the server (with psql or another frontend) you specify the correct port for the server you want.
psql -p 5433 -d mydatabase
or
export PGPORT=5433 psql -d mydatabase
