I deinstalled and installed postgres and executed exactly the same
statements as you, and it worked. One thing I am not sure about is during
creation of a user, I am asked whether to use a postgres ID or UNIX ID, what
is the right/recommended approach (I used UNIX ID).

Then I created a new database "castortest". I tried to execute a file
creating a schema with a bunch of tables and index definitions with
psql -dcastortest -f create.sql

This returned an error with the first create table statement. Any attempt
after that, even after reboot, to create a table failed.

Below is the postgresql.log file
