There is something wrong with permissions here. You ought to be able, as _any_ user, to run /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql Can you? It seems clear that pg_wrapper can't. If not, why not? I assume the file must exist, since you have just reinstalled the package. Is the file itself executable by all users? (Use "ls -l" to check this.) Has someone made an intermediate directory unsearchable? Every directory in its path should have search (i.e. execute) permission for all users. Check /usr, /usr/lib, /usr/lib/postgresql, and so on. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
