i installed postgresql, and got it running, created a user for myself, compiled [psql] from postlude (i'm using pd-extended from cvs).
i opened up the psql-help file and started with the first instruction, and it created the database fine, i moved to the second command and get this error: psql: Action failed. PQresultStatus is PGRES_FATAL_ERROR
a common problem with postgreSQL is that you don't have the rights to remotely connect to a psql-server, even if if there is a user and the user has the right to access the table; but this user might not be allowed to connect remotely to the server...
to check whether this is indeed the problem, try connecting to the server with something else that is supposed to work (e.g "psql" command line tool; or some webinterface like phpmyadmin)
more information should be found in the postgresql-doc.
