It seems pretty odd that that would be the first error.

/usr/local is not /var/lib. Perhaps you have an incomplete/corrupt
database installation under /usr/local/pgsql/data? I don't believe
the postmaster would start if there were nothing there at all, but
it certainly doesn't try very hard to check whether every required
file is present.
