The PostgreSQL postmaster can't find where the base directory (that
contains all your databases) is. You probably need to use the -D option
to tell it where to look. It's commonly installed in
/usr/local/pgsql/data.

This is just because PostgreSQL didn't start up when you asked it to.
Once you get it running, this error should go away.

There should be a file called "pg_hba.conf.sample" that explains it's
use. Mine lives in /usr/local/pgsql/lib
