hum, so you are not using a _normal_ linux ?
This is a pseudo_linux running under Windows ?
Not sure Everything can work on this kind of _pseudo_linux_

This means that the postmaster is not running.
You should launch the postmaster before
( with '/etc/init.d/posgresql start' for example ) see below :

----------------

[root(at)waisse william]# createdb a
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory
Is the postmaster running at 'localhost'
and accepting connections on Unix socket '5432'?
createdb: database creation failed
[root(at)waisse william]# /etc/init.d/po
portmap postfix postgresql
[root(at)waisse william]# /etc/init.d/pos
postfix postgresql
[root(at)waisse william]# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
Checking postgresql installation: looks good!
Starting postgresql service: postmaster [14253]
[root(at)waisse william]# createdb a
CREATE DATABASE
[root(at)waisse william]#

-----------

This works all the time on a _normal_ linux.

Computers are like air conditionners. They work better when you close windows.
