Hi, Ana.

There are RPM's now available for PostgreSQL 6.5.2 for RedHat 6.0 --
http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres/RPMS/redhat-6.0

The RPM's follow a little more standard way of doing things that you do
here.

Either /sql/data/base/template1 already existed, or the user postgres
doesn't have sufficient permissions to that directory, or /sql/data
doesn't exist -- use mkdir to create it before running initdb.  Make
sure that the user postgres (UID 500) both owns /sql/data, AND has rwx
rights to it.

Hope this helps.
