you need to be a postgresql user, which is somewhat like being a unix user
but different,
you said earlier that you've got a debian system so,
if you have a user account that is already registered as a postgres
superuser login to that account and say:
createuser jorge
Otherwise, if you've just installed postgresql and didn't register you
home useraccount while doing so. Try the following
su -> (become root)
su postgres -> (become postgres, you won't need a password)
createuser <username>
and then follow the prompts :-)
