Thanks a lot for your help! By deleting the pgsql directory I get
some steps further. Now I get stuck by a error message saying
"postmaster.pid" already exists, when I try to start postmaster. I am
not really sure what this means because I think I initiated the
database only once, but I guess I have to try a little bit more to
solve this problems.
Best regards,

Dear experts,

The files seem to exist already but I simply do not find them.
My questions:
Are there deinstallation protocols for Mac? (I was not able to
find any...)
How can I find and delete these files?
Or is it something else that hinders me from installing postgres?
I hope to hear from someone who can give me some hints - thanks a
lot!
Not a Mac guy here, but I think you should try running configure with
a different prefix. For example:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-tmp
This will avoid conflicts with old left over files (if any).
