I am having this same issue with the install failing to initialize the cluster. I am installing on OS X, Snow Leopard. I have tried both the 8.4 and 9.0 installer, and both have the same error at the end of install. I've checked the "data" folder, and it has Read & Write permissions for "postgres" - seems right to me. Anyone know the solution?
