Installation Error - error occured getting a database version

Hello everyone, hoping all is well!

I am working on installing the most recent version of OpenNMS (as of this posting date) on Ubuntu 12.10.  My Postgresql version is 9.1, I am using Java SDK 1.6.0_26 obtained using the optional ppa repository as indicated in the Debian/Ubuntu install directions located on the OpenNMS wiki.  When I go to install open nms following the directions:

Try It! Create the Database
Now it's time to create and configure the OpenNMS database. To do so, run the following command (as root):
sudo /usr/share/opennms/bin/install -dis

I receive the following error message:

I have searched high and low for two days and tried everything possible to correct this error, including using Java 7, older versions of Postgresql, previous versions of Ubuntu, and a complete wipe and reinstall of everything from scratch following the instructions laid out by the OpenNMS wiki to no avail.  And yes, my Postgresql service is running as the output of:
/etc/init.d/postgresql status
comes back as
9.1/main (port 5432): online

Any help from this point forward would be greatly appreciated as I am officially in over my head and quite stuck.  As always, any information needed will be happily  provided.

Thank you in advance and everyone have a great weekend!

Best,

Niko M.
