You didn't mention you'd done this so I'll suggest it - take a look
at your $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf file. There should be a line near the bottom that
looks like this:
host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
If there's something other than trust in the authentication
field, you should make sure that the method you chose is operating
correctly. Also, make sure that a name lookup of "localhost" yields
the IP address "127.0.0.1".
