Hi Martin this is the bash shell text from your request in comment #2

I started a fresh install on a different box and followed some instructions I found via QGIS for setting up postgres for QGIS and it worked on the other machine, so I just gave up on this one. I don't know if the above is any use to you or not as I have now un- installed the postgresql server packages. Note that I had originally installed the postgis geographic location extentions package to create a database for QGIS, if that makes any difference. Thank you for your time, I greatly appreciate your efforts.
