I installed as per instructions up to item 20.   b.     createdb
I get the following message.....

Connection to database 'template1' failed.
connectDB() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory
Is the postmaster running at 'localhost' and accepting connections on Unix
socket '5432'?

createdb: database creation failed on postgres.


I am loading PostgreSQL 6.5.2 on

OS is RedHat LINUX  2.0.30

hardware is i486

Thanx,
Frank Shannon
