[postgis-users] Installation - help

[Riyaz Prasla]

Chris, 
  When I run: psql -p 5583 test

I get the following error:
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket
"/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5583"?

How can I make createlang use default Unix sockets? 

Thanks,
Riyaz
