When trying to run initdb I get the following error:

The program '/usr/bin/postgres' needed by initdb does not belong to
PostgreSQL version 7.1beta2.  Check your installation.

I'll see if I can track down what happened a little later on...

Hm.  Either install failed to overwrite the existing /usr/bin/postgres,
or your compiled copy of the executable still has the beta1 version
string (did you do "make clean" before rebuilding?)

If you are updating your sources via 'cvs update' you should do 'make
clean' before recompilation, or configure with '--enable-depend' next
time.  Most likely the postgres program still thinks it's beta1.  (Try
--version.)
