Short Description
createuser fails

Long Description
I am trying to install postgres on windows nt .
initdb worked fine , and also the createdb command.
But when i run any command like createuser etc, i get the
following error
psql: connectDBStart() -- socket() failed: errno=106
Addresses in the specified family cannot be used with this socket

ipc-daemon and postmaster are both running.
It is very urgent for me to run postgres on nt.
I would really appreciate if some one replies me back

Try `createuser -h localhost ...'. By default, it uses Unix domain
sockets, which don't work on NT. (Hence, "specified family [namely
AF_UNIX] cannot be used...".)

Setting the environment variable PGHOST=localhost might be a good idea as
well.
