        Could it be that the "..../data" directory isn't empty? I
        think initdb
        will fail if this is the case.

    its empty or i say its newly created.


Because you're using the -n flag, after you run initdb once, the directory is left there. Delete the 'data' directory and try again.
Actually i put the -n and -d flags just to get more information about what all has been created but they remain empty. Nevertheless tried removing the old data directory and without -n option still got the same output.
