[Refdb-users] trying to get refdb up and running on Mac OSX 10.3

[Christian W. <wi...@ka...>]

Hello there, 

I guess this is not specific to the Mac, but anyway, here is my
problem.  I installed refdb 093 according to the instructions, using
Postgresql as the database.  I figured out everything, installed the
database refdb1, and get to the point where I am using refdba to call
the database.  On a "viewstat" command, all I get is "could not
connect to database server".  In another terminal, where refdbd is
running in debug mode, I see the same message.

If I use pgsql on the command-line, however, I am able to connect to
the database and issue SQL commands without a problem, so pg_hba.conf
and friends should not cause problems.

I am a bit at a loss at what to do next to trace the problem.  BTW,
most of the stuff is from fink, but I installed postgresql 7.4.1 from
source.

I hope somebody can help,

All the best,

Christian
