Hi tek! Without the export DISPLAY statement, I couldn't load the GUI "Postgresql Access", but I could access it on the commandline. I kept getting the following error messages (since the postmaster wasn't running): "Connection to database 'postgres' failed. connectDB() failed: Is the postmaster running and accepting connections at 'UNIX Socket' on port '5432'?" or "Connection to database 'postgres' failed. connectDB() failed: Isthe postmaster running and accepting connections TCP/IP (wit -i) connections at 'localhost' on port '5432'?" Wish I had su-ed then typed the command. It would have saved me lots of grief; but then again, I wouldn't have learned much.
