Sounds like you have messed-up terminal settings. Check that the
TERM environment variable matches what you are using.

Your local DNS setup is messed up, I think. That sounds like a
nameserver timeout while trying to look up "localhost" (or whatever
you have PGHOST set to). Bone up on configuring DNS; I imagine there's
a HOWTO for it out there.
Or you could just unset PGHOST. But the DNS problem will affect more
than just Postgres, so I'd recommend attacking the problem not just
this symptom.
