I'm having issues with installing the postgres DBI for perl. Here is the
output of make test and a verification postmaster is running:

DBI->data_sources .......... not ok:

Is the postmaster running? Do you run the make test routine with
a user who can access the database. Try the same with
the postgres user. I usually do only the make install step
as root.

"Connection refused" at this stage generally means that the connect
request never got as far as the postmaster. Are you sure you are
connecting to the right machine? Your script

[~/DBD-Pg-0.95] dmfetter@mwabs505! ps -ef|grep post
dmfetter 24865 24254 0 21:35:38 pts/5 0:00 grep post
postgres 23964 1 0 17:31:28 ? 0:00
/usr/local/postgres/bin/postmaster -S -i

suggests you are on mwabs505 not mwabs504.

Silly me, I didn't even notice the mwabs504/505 difference. I had my
.profile setup for another machine. It compiled fine now. Thanks.
