They just needed to be a little more patient ;-)  IIRC, the createlang
script invokes psql four or five times, so if you are using password
authentication you're going to have to enter the password four or five
times.

I agree, this isn't particularly user-friendly ... but then, password
auth is inherently not user-friendly for something you invoke
frequently.  You might want to look at the other auth methods.
