Friends,

Deleting the postgres installed from source and re-installing postgres from pacman (arch linux) solved the problem, although it did require a full database dump and restore.

I still find the interaction between user postgres and systemd init files to be confusing, but for now perhaps I'm alright.

Friends,

   I recently made some changes to postgresql (deleted from package
manager and installed from source 9.5.1).  It was a hassle because they
install in different locations and put the bin files in different
places, etc.  It's all working now, except for GRASS, which seems to be
running a command from the old installation and failing to connect.  E.g.

GRASS GIS 7.3.svn > db.connect driver=pg
    database="host=127.0.0.1,dbname=beartooth"
GRASS GIS 7.3.svn > db.tables
DBMI-PostgreSQL driver error:
Connection failed.
could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket
        "/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

HOWEVER

GRASS GIS 7.3.svn > pgsql -h 127.0.0.1 -d beartooth -p 5432
psql (9.5.1)
Type "help" for help.
\d

beartooth=# \d

 public | vmap             | table | dvrbts
(31 rows)
\q

run from inside GRASS shows that postgres is running and accepting
connections on the default port.

The connection failure message is commonly produced from a mismatch of
versions of postgres, so I'm guessing that somewhere GRASS is trying the
old version.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dave
