I have made some progress by looking at the documentation and at how
Mac OSX sets up privileges.
If I su to root and then su to postgres, I can access createlang and
psql (although my user $PATH seems to be inoperative).
What I can't do is su from me as user (not root) to postgres. I get
asked for a password that is not any password that exists. For
example, it is not the password that postgres uses to get to the
databases.
I am now going to see if I can find the mystery password for postgres.
