[GRASSLIST:1152] trouble with g.select.pg

[mlennert at club.worldonline.be]

I've already sent this message to the sqlgrass-list, but this list doesn't 
seem very active. Shouldn't we maybe merge it with the main grass list again ?
----------------------------------- 

When trying to run g.select.pg I get the classic error message :
Error: select Postgres:PQconnectPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
        Is the postmaster running (with -i) at 'localhost'
        and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5432'?

However, postmaster is running on 5432. I can see the databases with 
'g.select.pg -l' and I can connect to them with pg_access. The only thing that 
seems a bit bizarre is that I cannot enter a host name when connecting through 
pg_access. If I do I get the same message as above. But when I don't I can 
connect without any trouble. I remember getting this hint from the pg_access 
web page or mailing list, so it seems to be a known phenomenon. Could this be 
the same problem with g.select.pg ?
