Are you sure that's where the database thinks the socket file should be?
/var/run/postgresql is *not* the factory default for this; /tmp is.
If you replaced a distro build with your own or vice versa you may be
confused by that.
Wrong permissions on the directory or its parents could be the
problem, too.

This clip omits the most important part of the message: there should be
a kernel error code after the colon.
