#5 could not connect to database after install

[Zach Carter]

OS: RedHat Linux 9 (also tried 8)
version: gmmusic-1.1.90-1.noarch-rh8.rpm

When running gmmusic -d as root, I get the popup
error"PostgreSQL Error: no connection to the server. A
possible reason could be that your database does not
exist or you cannot establish a connection to your
PostgreSQL database server". There is no output to stderr.

I made sure postgresql was running. I read the FAQ and
tried using a socket connection by changing the
gmmusicrc. I connected to the database as the user
postgres and was able to verify that the mmusic2
database does exist.

I can think of no other ways to debug this further. Do
you have any suggestions?
