I set the PATH to usr/local/pgsql/bin that seems to be where all the files I
want to execute are in. But still nothing.. Am I doing something really
stupid here liking missing a command? All I am typing in is initdb and
pressing enter. Am I missing a step in the installation??? And hey thanks
for the help....

make sure /hometopostgre/bin is in your PATH environment variable.
do "echo $PATH" to see if it is there, if it is not
See the docs for your shell on how to set env. variable.

I am lost. I am a developer, new to Linux and to postgreSQL.

I am trying to install postgreSQL on a linux machine. Every command I
try to run gives me a command not found error. I cannot seem to do
anything. I tried running all the commands. I tried being the root user
as well as other users, no difference. I tried going to the scr
directory and 'make all' still nothing. I see the html documents and can
run them, but that is it.

Does anyone have any advice for someone who is an idiot when it comes to
this???

Thank you in advance
