[GRASSLIST:5972] Re: Postgress and GRASS CD

[David Orme]

Hi,

I've been getting the exact same message using the OpenOSX CD. 
PostgreSQL _is_ installed by the CD and there are some notes on the CD 
about logging in and changing the postgres user password after 
installation.

I've also done some tinkering trying to start up new databases. I think 
I've managed to get postmaster up and running from the postgres account 
but i can't seem to connect to it - this is where I get your error 
message.
