This doesn't look like a good connect string to me.
This may be an example where better documentation would help us.

The best documentation on this right now is Ian's "INSTALL" file, which
I condense here:

if you are using CL-SQL, type:
  (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :ele-clsql)

(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant-tests)
(in-package :ele-tests)
(setf *default-spec* *testpg-spec*)


Of course you don't have to use the default *testpg-spc*, which will
change when building
an application, but it is probably the best way to test.

Create a postgres database schema accessible by user "postgres" named
"test".
Normally you just do this with:

create_db test

(I do this logged in as the Linux user "postgres", the user that is
create specifically to 
run the "postmaster".)

Make sure user "postgres" can reach it by connecting with the psql
command-lin interpreter:

psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres test

Then a "spec" that looks like this should work:


 '(:CLSQL (:POSTGRESQL "localhost.localdomain" "test" "postgres" ""))

Let me know if that makes a difference!
