I installed version 8.3.5 with tasksel. When I ran initdb, it ran in
debug mode but ran successfully so far as I can tell. I was then able to
run postgres -D /usr/local/postgresql/data and the message that came back
said postgres was ready to accept connections. I exited that and the
database system shut down. Then I tried createuser dashielljt and the
following came back as an error dialog.

verizon:~# createuser dashielljt
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) y
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to
server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
verizon:~# exit
exit
