Peter, no problem. That's what OSS brings sometimes, right? Part of my
contribution might be helping to debug things. That said, I'm a bit
busy with other things, so my response is likely to be slow, as you've
seen.

Thanks; got it. I had to run gem install as root so it would install
something.
Unfortunately, I can't find where it went.

Tips? That's probably easy to fix.

That gave me errors, and I'm not on a sudo system, so I tried
,----
| $ su -u postgres psql
| su: invalid option -- 'u'
| Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]
|
| Options:
| -c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell
| -h, --help display this help message and exit
| -, -l, --login make the shell a login shell
| -m, -p,
| --preserve-environment do not reset environment variables, and
| keep the same shell
| -s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default in passwd
`----
So I tried
,----
| $ su postgres psql
| Password:
| /usr/bin/psql: line 18: use: command not found
| /usr/bin/psql: line 20: use: command not found
| /usr/bin/psql: line 22: use: command not found
| /usr/bin/psql: line 23: use: command not found
| /usr/bin/psql: psql: line 25: syntax error near unexpected token `$version,'
| /usr/bin/psql: psql: line 25: `my ($version, $cluster, $db, $port,
| $host);'
`----

Thinking a _little_ bit, I tried (as me)
,----
| $ psql ledger
| psql (9.1.3)
| Type "help" for help.
|
| ledger=> alter role myname with password 'mypassword';
| ALTER ROLE
| ledger=> commit;
| WARNING: there is no transaction in progress
| COMMIT
| ledger=> \q

See above.

I think I'm getting closer! Perhaps just the config.rb file plus
perhaps putting the executable in something other than /var, unless
that's where it belongs.
More tips? I hope this helps others, too.
