I don't know much about postgres, but this seems the postgres server  
does not want You to connect from that server with that  
username/password combination. Have You checked

- If postgresql is correctly configured to accept tcp connections from  
another machine?

- If You can connect using the command line interface with the username  
and password You intend to use?

- If the RT configuration file is clean, i.e. no blanks, tabs or other  
unprintable characters after the username or password in the Makefile?

That's it for now.
