I got the same result:
$ sudo -u postgres /sw/bin/psql
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.5432"?
I will uninstall it (it's the binary version), selfupdate, install
from source and try again.
Thanks.
