Forget ident at this point.  Let's see if we can get your machine to use
the IPv4 line in pg_hba.conf.

Try this --- compile with IPv6 commented out, as you have done, then
remove the ::1 line from pg_hba.conf, and see if you can connect using
this:

    > psql -U scncraft -h 127.0.0.1

and see what happens.  Is your 'localhost' mapped to an IPv4 OR IPv6
address?  Also, I am sure you realized you can connect without -h just
using unix domain sockets, but that will not allow you to use ident.
