I did this tonight

dpkg --purge postgresql
apt-get install postgresql

and am now still getting the following:

biko:/usr/bin# psql -U postgres
No database specified
biko:/usr/bin# psql -U postgres template1
Could not execv /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql
biko:/usr/bin# psql -U postgres template0
Could not execv /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql
biko:/usr/bin# psql -U postgres ggp_test
Could not execv /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql
biko:/usr/bin#
My pg_hba.conf temporarily reads:
local      all                                          trust
host       all         127.0.0.1     255.255.255.255    trust
host       template1   192.168.2.21  255.255.255.0      trust
host         all         0.0.0.0       0.0.0.0             reject
(Eventually, before I take this live, I'll figure out the crypt part).

The postgresql installation is at 192.168.10. I'm working from a shell at 192.168.2.21. But I also tried running this from the application server at 2.10 as well and got the same errors.

And now pgAdmin II is giving me a connection error:
An error has occured in pgAdmin II:frmConnect.cmdConnect_Click
Number -2147467259
Description: Could not connect to the server;
Could not connect to remote socket.
/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf includes a line reading:
tcpip_socket = 1
which I assume means that I _should_ be able to make a TCP connection across the network. Although I cannot seem to do so.

Working in Debian 3.0 Woody, with postgreSQL 7.2. Still looking for clues, in fact I seem to be looking for more clues now than I was yesterday.

Did you install your package using apt-get ?
All the instalations that I do are using those tools from debian. You have to see all the packages that you have instaled in your computer like:

dpkg -l | grep postgresql
ii postgresql 7.2.1-2 Object-relational SQL database, descended fr
ii postgresql-cli 7.2.1-2 Front-end programs for PostgreSQL
ii postgresql-con 7.2.1-2 Additional facilities for PostgreSQL

Then you do: dpkg --purge postgresql. You can now run the first command to see if something is still installed. If some are instaled, the you remove it using again dpkg --purge.

I have reinstalled before. I wonder though, how I ensure that I have cleanly un-installed it first, so that I leave no residue from the previously botched installation around to mess things up the next time.

Start over: delete your PG installation and reinstall the Debian

I agree with Tom Lane. Probably is the best thing to do. When you install all it over, in theory, all the problems will solve by them selfs.
