   After some days, I had finally a compiled and linked Postgres's programs
   in a RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.  So I was very happy, and tried the creation
   of my first database:

   % setenv POSTGRESHOME ~postgres
   % postmaster &
   [1] 18929
   % createdb postgres

   Any suggestion?

Looks like you didn't "./Make install" (or it failed) nor issued a
separate initdb command.  Try "initdb -v" while logged in as postgres.
