I suggested this since you mentioned su - postgresql does not give you the same error.

Which user are you using (while you get the error)?

 
How would which psql is being used have an impact?



I was just trying to understand more about your environment. This will let us know how many installations you have.

What is the value for your $PGDATA, $PGPASSWORD?
