If you reinstall postgres from source you have to manually rebuild the database directory, user, etc..
You have to follow carefully this instructions:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/creating-cluster.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/postmaster-start.html


you will also have to create a new database user and remember to use the database administrator user (eg postgres)

postgres$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
^^^^^^^^

to do administration task like starting and stopping the postmaster.
