needto do the install by hand; the automated scoop installer does not support Postgres.  If you go to
http://bugz.mostly-harmless.ca/show_bug.cgi?id=78you can download my script for creating and populating the database
andgetting the grants done correctly. You also must download the correct database, with all MySQLisms fixed.  Use it
insteadof the scoop.sql you get from cvs.  You can get it from the same URL as my script.
