I installed postgresql through Ubuntu software center, but ps -e|grep post giving nothing. and sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start gives nothing. What may be wrong with me? I am using 64 bit 10.4.

we have to run initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data for the first time. oh my God... I wasted one full day to find this!!! what a shame.
