There is no directory of postgresql in /var/run.
Wasn’t expecting there to be, that’s what you get the error.
Please help me out.
Since “su - postgres” works for psql just do that for createuser.
Or do what Tom said and specify -h /tmp in your commands
It might be interesting to see what “which psql” shows in each case; or whether psql works in the sudo -u case.
