Adrian asks the correct questions. Lacking the answers to those I'm going
to venture a guess that a Unix-domain socket exists but access via
Unix-domain sockets is somehow blocked, probably by pg_hba.conf.
Actually, the more common case I've seen is that the server put the
socket file in directory X but psql (or more specifically libpq)
is looking in directory Y.  Try "show unix_socket_directories"
(or on older server versions "show unix_socket_directory") in a
successful connection, and compare to the path that psql shows when
bleating that it can't connect.

Usually this isn't operator error per se, but inconsistent defaults
between builds obtained from different sources.
