Deepdive installation, PostgreSQL error - postgresql

Question

Does anyone have any experience working with DeepDive? It involves installing Java, Python 2.x, PostgreSQL, and SBT, then the DeepDive package. I'm not very familiar with PostgreSQL, but I'm intending to learn these simultaneously.
I'm working on Ubuntu 12.04 and PostgreSQL 9.1. I made a superuser for PostgreSQL using the command in the shell createuser tom. It's worth noting that my Ubuntu username is also tom. I then changed the password for tom with the following:
$su - postgres
$psql
--> ALTER USER tom WITH password 'pa$$w0RD';
DeepDive comes with a test script, which gives me the following error (I'm not including all the other text, which doesn't include errors).
[info] LogisticRegressionApp:
[info] - should work *** FAILED ***

If anyone can point me in some direction, I'd appreciate it.
OK, I fixed part of the problem, but this led to a different problem. Here's what I did. test.sh contains the following lines:
export PGUSER=${PGUSER:-`whoami`}
export PGPASSWORD=${PGPASSWORD:-}
which I changed to
export PGUSER=tom
export PGPASSWORD=pa$$w0rd
Now the test proceeds farther, and gets to the point where it prints the following:
06:49:40.953 [default-dispatcher-7][$a][LocalActorRef] INFO Message [org.deepdive.calibration.CalibrationDataWriter$WriteCalibrationData] from Actor[akka://deepdive/temp/$a] to Actor[akka://deepdive/user/inferenceManager/$a#-1669803870] was not delivered.

And this continues ad infinitum. The key seems to be the first line, about the message not being delivered between the two Actors.
As I noted in a comment below, I checked out the postgresql.conf file, and uncommented the following line
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
listen on;
It resolved one of the original errors, but not the second error.
In item 2 of Patrick's response, here are the parameters from the pg_hba.conf file:
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local all postgres peer
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
Doesn't the part local all all support all local connections?

Answer 1

The error you mention can have multiple causes:
Have you modified postgresql.conf to accept incoming TCP/IP connections? Check the listen_addresses parameter.
Have you modified pg_hba.conf? Here you need setup an authentication method for DeepDive and/or the jdbc driver definition.
Lastly, can DeepDive connect to the database it intends to connect to with the credentials you have supplied it (or the jdbc driver definition)?
Both of the configuration files are in your $PGDATA directory, typically /etc/postgresql/9.3/main.
Note that psql logs on using the unix sockets by default (unless you specify -h host_ip) and jdbc uses a TCP/IP connection. Try psql over TCP/IP to see if that works. If not, work on 1, then 2. If it does, work on 2, then 3.
