I can't get postgres started.

Hi everybody,

Sorry, I previously didn’t put subject line.

I recently built postgres 8.4.4 from source and tested it.
It seemed to work fine then, but I cannot seem to run psql
today. I built it to run on port 6543. Do I need to specify the
port number when I start it?

Here’s the session dialog:

bash-3.2$ pg_ctl stop -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
LOG: received smart shutdown request
LOG: autovacuum launcher shutting down
LOG: shutting down
waiting for server to shut down....LOG: database system is shut down
done
server stopped
bash-3.2$

bash-3.2$ pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
server starting
bash-3.2$ LOG: database system was shut down at 2010-09-30 20:38:47 PDT
LOG: autovacuum launcher started
LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
bash-3.2$

bash-3.2$ psql canon
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "172.16.0.151" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 6543?
bash-3.2$

Thank you for your help.
