[rt-users] rt206 make install fails to connect to Pg

[Harold Sinclair]

Hello,

I fail when trying to open a connection to Postgres database during 'make install'.

tools/initdb fails; it looks like the variables it's getting are correct, I just can't tell how to further debug it.

My problem is somewhat similar to what was described in this post,
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2001-June/002570.html
but I did not see this thread conclude with a resolution!

I have tried both specifying the password for user postgres in rt's Makefile, and leaving it blank to no avail, while changing it at the OS level to match each case.

My Postgres install seems fine, that is, I can do other operations as user postgres with no problem, such as creating a test database.  Postgres is running and the socket is up.  

Maybe set up TCP/IP connect?  Could it be my DBIx version is broken?

Now creating a database for RT.
Enter the Pg password for postgres:

Do I have a bad version of DBIx? Did I miss something in the docs?
I really would appreciate any of your comments as I am dying to get this up and running.
My version info is below -- and thanks very much,

My SMTP server, postfix, runs locally and works just fine, though I haven't gotten as far as using with RT.

And the other pieces look good -- I just got them from CPAN yesterday:
