The SUSE docs in these packages could perhaps give a hint of what they have and have not done in the installation process so a user knows where to pick up the ball.
Hi Roger,
You piqued my curiosity as I keep contemplating (then never finding the time) to try PostgreSQL on oS so I did a quick Google search. These posts look promising...

hth & regards,
Thanks for that info. I decided to solve becoming the postgres user by first becoming root. Then I do not need the postgres password. I have not found a need to change the password in the database as those examples show. So I did not do that. I have now been able to create my user and a table. My new issue is that I cannot get the postgis stuff working. When I run: psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql91/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql I get: psql:/usr/share/postgresql91/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql:45: ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/postgis-2.0": No such file or directory May be a chroot that the openSUSE RPMs don't have correct. This is as far as I have gotten: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-users/2012-September/035054.html I have not solved this one yet.
