What I should have said was:

So, first, configure, then "make" using gmake - this is the compile 
step. Then install - this puts all of the files in the places they need 
to go - the libraries, executables, etc. Then you need to add a new 
user, called postgres, who will be the admin user for the server. Create 
a directory for the data that is owned by the postgres user. Then 
initiate the database system (which creates the system tables). Start up 
PG, create a database called 'test' and then use the client to interact 
with that database.
