That really depends on where you did install the binary files. Did you specify a --prefix option when running configure script? If so, you might need a command like the following: $ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data Actually, assuming you've created the database by using the newly installed initdb command, you just need to replace "initdb" with "postgres" in that command. -- Alex
