Newbie [CentOS 5.2] initdb

While going through http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Detailed_installation_guides
and typing
service postgresql start
as root I got
"/var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to initialize the cluster first."

When I run service postgresql initdb, I get "se: [FAILED]". However, /var/lib/pqsql/data is created and user postgres owns it.

But then I run
service postgresql start
and the very same error occurs..
