It would help if you provided the exact log messages, but what this sounds
like is a networking configuration problem. Do you have DNS service on
this machine, and if so does it correctly resolve "localhost"?
There has been some talk in the past about kluging things so that PG would
work even if "localhost" didn't resolve, but the case hasn't seemed worth
putting much effort into.
