DBI and DBD perl mods installed via CPAN. 

I have followed the freeside New Install AFAIK verbatim and all milestones 
passed ok.
The step to create the database tables: bin/fs-setup is failing. I can 
connect to the
database through psql with the same user and password. I have created to 
admin users
and passwords using: 

freeside-adduser -c -h /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd freeside 

And 

freeside-adduser -h /usr/local/etc/freeside/htpasswd <other> 

both users can connect using psql: 

sh-2.05$ ./psql

I have read the manual and searched google using the following error message 
in parts as keywords only to get one google result with the same error 
condition I am experiencing. 

The following command line freeside install sequence is invoked with the 
following results: 

sh-2.05$ bin/fs-setup freeside 

Freeside tracks the RADIUS User-Name, check attribute Password and
reply attribute Framed-IP-Address for each user.  You can specify additional
check and reply attributes (or you can add them later with the
fs-radius-add-check and fs-radius-add-reply programs). 

First enter any additional RADIUS check attributes you need to track for 
each
user, separated by whitespace.

Now enter any additional reply attributes you need to track for each user,
separated by whitespace.

Do you wish to enable the tracking of a second, separate shipping/service
address?
