nope! i have purposefully deselected postgres 7.4 installation at OS install.
then downloaded postgresql sources of 8.1.4 and installed it in 
/usr/local/pgsql with data dir as /data/pgdata. later , i have set PGDATA to 
/data/pgdata in startup script from contrib/scripts of sources and placed it in 
/etc/init.d
to be sure, i re-checked with rpm -qa|postgres too which didnt give me any 
package listing.

ps auxww |grep postgresql gives /data/pgdata as the data dir.

whats happening ?

Have you tried looking in /var to see what's there?

find /var -type f -msize +9999k
