[Gnumed-bugs] Opening GNUmed, please help

[Olivier Brasseur]

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to try GNUmed. I installed it through synaptic (Ubuntu
13.04), had a look at all support available on the net but could not
open the database (with the version PostgreSQL 9.1+140) on my machine, I
got the following message:

"Unable to connect to database:

PostgreSQL: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "any-doc"
DSN: dbname=gnumed_v16 port=5432 user=any-doc password=� sslmode=prefer

Are you sure you have got a local database installed ?

Please retry with proper credentials or cancel.

You may also need to check the PostgreSQL client
authentication configuration in pg_hba.conf. For
details see:

wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/ConfigurePostgreSQL

Please consult the error log for all the gory details !"

Not being very knowledgeable about Linux commands, I tried to follow the
advice on the wiki, but did not go very far.
I would appreciate your help.

Best regards
Dr. O. Brasseur
