if your pgsql directory is /usr/local/pgsql, chances are, the default
data directory is in /usr/local/pgsql/data ...

But, since you're running Fedora, and that uses SysVinit routines, look
in /usr/local/pgsql/postgresql-(version)/contrib/start-scripts and you
should find a script `linux` there.... as root, copy this to
/etc/init.d/postgresql and chmod that +x then still as root, do
`chkconfig postgresql --add`

now, you can start/stop postgres as root with `service postgresql start`
and `service postgresql stop`.. further, if you now do `chkconfig
postgresql on` it will autostart each time you reboot, running as a
system service.

if you really just want to run it manually, I'd consider changing the
postgres user account's home directory to /usr/local/pgsql rather than
/home/postgres... `usermod -d /usr/local/pgsql postgres`

regardless, you usually need to edit the postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf
files to support the desired access types
