Hi everybody,

Sorry for asking about postgresql here. Maybe is not adequate at all but since 
I want it for spatial uses I thought it could be relevant. I've been 
researching a lot on the internet but I couldn't solve the issue. 

I've installed the postgres.app and pgadmin III on my computer and I'm trying 
to create a database on the terminal (I know I can do it on pgAdmin III but I 
would like to learn the terminal way as well) and every attempt looks 
unsuccessful.

I have change my path to use the postgress.app instead the built one through: 

                        
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"

First, when I enter     $ psql  in the terminal it returns:     

                        psql: FATAL:  role "xusto" does not exist      (where 
xusto is my system username)

Researching on the web I found that is due to conflict between both copies of 
postgresql and that I have to connect via:

                        psql -h localhost -U postgres

So far so good. When I enter this command it returns me the following:

                                psql (9.0.10, server 9.1.8)
                                WARNING: psql version 9.0, server version 9.1.
                                                     Some psql features might 
not work.
                                Type "help" for help.

                                postgres=#

Even with the warning message I understand that I'm connected to postgresql. 
Nonetheless, when I enter  "CREATE DATABASE mydb" it doesn't return anything. 

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Also I wanted to ask how can I do it to install the PostGIS?


Sorry again and thank you very much!
