The "createdb" command doesn't appear to be in your path. Depending on where 
you installed PostgreSQL, you may want to look there (unless it came 
installed with your operating system, whereby it should be somewhere in 
/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or something like that).

If you don't have createdb, then you can get around it by using the "psql" 
database shell directly (createdb is simply a shortcut for the following):

% psql template1
template1=> CREATE DATABASE ogo;
