installation(pg_depend) problem

Hi:
I am installing postgres on a Debian Linux box. After following all the
necessray steps (make, make install, making the data directory, chown, etc),
I ran initdb as pecified in the INSTALL file. It terminates giving the
following error:

initializing pg_depend ... cannot connect : Connection refused
child process exited with exit code 1

Does anyone know what the problem is? (I have attached the complete output
of initdb below).

Thank,
HSA

This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
