...so it is presumably not a permissions problem with /tmp.
Please run postmaster through strace (add it to the command
in postgresql-startup) and post the output for a little while before
the failure (perhaps from the socket() call); that might give some
clues.
Please try also `lsof | grep 5432' and see what you get. (That should
report any existing use of port 5432.)
lsof is (for me) in package lsof-2.2. I think you have to install the
correct version for your kernel.
