Re: Problems installing version 7.1beta4

If you're sure your're su-ed into "postgres", check the permissions on the
directory your trying to create the database in. I got that same error and
eventually figured out and fixed it when the directory I was trying to
create it in didn't have "write" permission. Yes, it's a strange error to
get for a permissions problem :-)
