After you fired it up did you add more fluid? The complete system will have to be filled, not just the pump.

You may have air in the system. Try raising the front end off the ground, and barely loosen the return line and turn the wheel lock to lock about 25 times, and tighten it back down, add more fluid and try it again.
You did add power steering of type F tranny fluid, right?
