if psql cannot find the database something went wrong in installing de postgresql part of scalix.

You can rerun the scalix installer and reinstall/reconfigure scalixDB

another option (not for the faint hearted) is to lookup the scripts that the isntaller uses and rerun the process by hand to troubleshoot any further..

Let us know what happened

I'm not sure if this is relevant but I switch to postgres user and command createuser and include scalix as a superuser and everything went fine.
