Re: Problems invoking psql. Help please.

Did you install your package using apt-get ?
All the instalations that I do are using those tools from debian. You 
have to see all the packages that you have instaled in your computer like:

dpkg -l | grep postgresql
ii  postgresql     7.2.1-2        Object-relational SQL database, 
descended fr
ii  postgresql-cli 7.2.1-2        Front-end programs for PostgreSQL
ii  postgresql-con 7.2.1-2        Additional facilities for PostgreSQL

Then you do: dpkg --purge postgresql. You can now run the first command 
to see if something is still installed. If some are instaled, the you 
remove it using again dpkg --purge.
