Hello,

I compiled the snapshot from 16. Oct on Sparc Linux.  Make and make
install worked perfectly and I was able to start the postmaster as
described in INSTALL.  But:

postgres:~$ ps ax | grep post
 8575 ttyp4    S      0:00 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
 8576 ttyp4    S      0:00 postgres: stats buffer process
 8578 ttyp4    S      0:00 postgres: stats collector process
 8624 ttyp0    S      0:00 grep post
postgres:~$ createuser tillea
Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new user be allowed to create more new users? (y/n) y
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory
        Is the postmaster running locally
        and accepting connections on Unix socket '/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432'?
createuser: creation of user "tillea" failed

The logfile says:

DEBUG:  database system was shut down at 2001-10-19 09:57:16 CEST
DEBUG:  checkpoint record is at 0/123118
DEBUG:  redo record is at 0/123118; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
DEBUG:  next transaction id: 90; next oid: 16556
DEBUG:  database system is ready

Does anybody see a reason for this failure?

Kind regards

          Andreas.
