I get
psql: could not connect to server: Permission denied
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

but if I use pgadmin I can double click on a db and use it ok.

I think pg is running but permissions issue?

    Looks like you have set different permissions for connections from Unix-domain sockets and TCP/IP connections. I.e.: different entries in your pg_hba.conf file for local and host. Check the file and add lines for local accordingly.
    Reload the server to have it take effect.

    BTW.: I use pg_lsclusters on Debian for a quick check which db clusters are installed/running.
