If psql connects and Kylix does not, the most likely reason is that
Kylix is trying to connect through TCP/IP to localhost and you have not
enabled TCP/IP access in pg_hba.conf.

Either force Kylix to connect with a blank host name, or add this line
to pg_hba.conf:

host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

(The second "all" is needed for PostgreSQL 7.3; omit it if you have an
earlier version.)
