I ran into this problem earlier this week and left it until today, when I needed it work at all cost. Turns out it was a simple issue with the configuration file. Heres the process.

First of all, open the file /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf
Find the line : "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
Below that line there is a line like this: local all all md5
Just change the last value to: peer
So the line now looks like: local all all peer
Now save the file (you need to be root)
Then restart the Postgresql process using the command: sudo service postgresql restart
Done.
