If you did not have any data you want to keep, run 'rm
-rf /var/lib/pgsql/data/* ' and execute the initscript again.
If you DO have data you want to keep, you need to reinstall the old version,
dump its data, remove the old/install the new, blow out the directory, start
the new, and restore your data.
