Well, that took me many hours, not being a postgresql expert.  I finally read
   http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?client-authentication.html
and realised that I needed to do something with the pg_hba.conf.  In the end I 
have uncommented
   local      all                                          trust
and suddenly I can log onto sql-ledger again.  I suppose I would have to do 
something more secure if the system were open to other users, but this will 
do for now.
