This is very very odd.  Most RedHat installs I've seen already come 
with postgres (but its been a while).
And you say you can run the postgres executables as a regular user 
without problems?  What DB do you connect to when your run psql?
In any case, the error message could be misleading here if you don't in 
fact have the postgres server running.  Make sure its turned on in your 
"services".
initdb initializes the RDBMS, which you don't what to do on reboot.
What does this say?
ps aux | grep post
This should tell you if the postmaster process is running.

Let's take the rest of this off-list to keep the traffic down, OK?
