if postgresql came without psql as a front-end, i'd venture to
say something got borked during your download. (of course, being
a debian user i'm a bit pampered when it comes to things "working
out of the box"...)
try
psql<TAB>
and see if it's in your command line. if not, try
locate psql
or
find / -name psql -print
probably the most trouble you'll have, once you can communicate
with the postmaster backend server, is in your first connection.
$ su
# su postgres
$ psql
it comes set up to allow user 'postgres' to connect; so once you
connect as postgres, you can set up other users, so you can
connect directly. (clear as mud, right? maybe another iteration
and someone else will help straighten this out.)
also see the documentation in the user lounge at postgresql.org !
