    Well?

    
    Does the socket file exist?

    
    Is PostgreSQL configured to use a different socket - perhaps in /tmp
    - in postgresql.conf?

    
    I'm guessing you're using `psql' from your OS's packages, which
    expects to find the PostgreSQL socket in /var/run/postgresql/ , but
    a PostgreSQL server you installed yourself that puts its socket in
    /tmp or somewhere else.

    
    Note that you should still be able to connect with `-H localhost' to
    use TCP/IP rather than unix domain sockets.
