You probably have a stale pid file.  It's something very
annoying when you don't do a proper shutdown, and don't have
proper startup scripts.  I'm still looking for a good solution to
this.

It might also help if you tell it to use a log file, redirect
stdout (and stderr?) to some file, and it should also give a clue why
postmaster refuses to start.
