Hello,

There is a bug in the binary distribution for S.u.S.E. 7.0; in the script 
"/etc/rc.d/postgres", in the "start" clause.

The -D option of the postmaster daemon is used to declare where is the data 
directory.

You do it like this:

	postgres -D$datadir

but you must do it like this:

	postgres -D $datadir

There must be a space among "-D" and "$datadir".
