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
