This seems to indicate that you have a mismatch in where  the socket directory 
is. Can you verify that the file /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 does not 
exist? You may want to see if /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 exists, as /tmp is a more 
common socket directory than /var/run/postgresql.

If it *is* /tmp and not /var/run/postgresql, then you have to fix the mismatch 
somehow. Make sure no environment variables are pointing you there 
(esp. PGHOST). You could force it to behave by setting PGHOST to /tmp, 
but it would be better to figure out what is trying to set /var/run/postgresql 
first. Your best bet to unraveling this is to probably talk through 
it on the #postgresl channel on irc.freenode.net.
