This may very well be a local problem of my own, in which case feel free to disregard it. But at the moment it looks to me as if the book's instructions will not work as written for a fresh install.
When I first started playing with postgresql (back in the days when I hoped to transfer a large amount of data from ASCII files - never did get time to converting most of the data) I found that I had to wait a little while between starting the database cluseter, and then doing a scripted install of the test data for Billy, Evanidus, and Jesse. But apart from that, all was well. Now, with 7.6 [ my previous installs was in 7.4 ] I find that I need to create /run/postgresl, and chown it to postgres:postgres, before I can do this successfully. I see that that happens in the current bootscript, but we do not install that until later on that page. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
