Hi all,
I'm wondering if someone here know how to go about fixing this problem that apparently affects everyone who manually install Postgresql8.4 on Ubuntu Karmic(9.10).
Postgres installation seems to mess with something that renders other applications unable to function. For instance my problem is with Evolution Mail. This is the output I started getting after installing postgres:

I can't be sure(no logs) but VMWare Workstation seems to have been affected here too, can't get it to work anymore.
