Hi,

I am a very new mac user and have just started using Fink.  I do have
experience using Debian and the apt suite of tools, but otherwise I'm
a raw beginner.

I am trying to get a PostgreSQL server running on my MacBook Pro under
Tiger.  I have installed Fink and have run an apt-get update and
upgrade.

To install PostgreSQL I ran: sudo apt-get install Package postgresql80-unified

The install did not report any problems and at the end reported:

Setting up postgresql80-unified (8.0.6-1026) ...
- starting PostgreSQL on port 14030
- attempting to install the plpgsql language in the template1 database... done

... which sounded pretty good!

But when I try to connect to the database using psql I get the following:

polar:~ bbadger$ sudo -u postgres psql -p 14030 template1
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.14030"?

I bet I'm doing something stupid.  Could someone please let me know
what I have wrong or which bit of documentation I should have read?

Many thanks,
    Bruce
