Bizarre.
Question: Does the problem happen when you just type psql? What if you pass the host option? e.g; psql -h 127.0.0.1 What type of auth are you running?
Don't use Gentoo? Seriously, that distribution is completely unsupportable because no one else has the faintest idea what you are really running. You've probably got some system component that is either broken in itself or incompatible with some other component, but there's no way to tell which.
I would have to agree with Tom here. Gentoo is a great development machine and a fun toy but if you don't want unknowns in your environment and Gentoo will easily introduce them. You really should look at something like Fedora Core or Ubuntu if you want FREE. If you don't mind paying the SuSE is a good choice. If you want RHE look and feel but don't want to pay, look at CentOS. Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
