[postgis-users] trouble installing postgis 1.5.2 in Ubuntu

[Mukesh Subedee]

Hi,

I am new to PostGIS and Postgres as well. I am trying to install PostGIS  on 
Postgres 8.4.4 running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I installed all the  dependencies: 
GEOS 3.2.2, Proj-4.7, libxml2-2.7.7, gdal-1.7.2 and all  the installation seems 
to go well. I have Postgres server up and running  in my localhost in socket 
5432 (that I checked with the running  processes (ps -aux | grep post) and  
telnet (telnet localhost 5432)). I  can see the running processes for postgres 
and the telnet shows the  connection. I am able to createdb, dropdb, createlang 
plpgsql logging in  as postgres.
// ----------------
./configure 
//----------------------
The make results:
//--------------------------
PostGIS was built successfully. Ready to install.
//-----------------------------------------
The make check gives the following errors:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting
        connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Since I have been able to run the postgres server in the localhost in  socket 
5432, why am I getting this error? Did I miss something while  configuring 
postgres? Anyone have any advice what to look for to get it  done?
