* PostgreSQL fails to bind IPv6 socket at startup on AIX platform

Hi All;
we're trying to get PostgreSQL configured on an AIX box (AIX version 5).
After some digging & adding various paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Thanks to
help from Tom Lane) we were able to complete the source based build.
However, when we try and start the db we get the following:
$ pg_ctl start
server starting
$ LOG: could not bind IPv6 socket: The socket name is already in use.
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 3116? If not, wait
a few seconds and retry.
I've verified via 'ps' that there are no postgres processes running,
also there is no postmaster.pid file present in the $PGDATA dir
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried a different port? Something else (other than postgresql)
could be using port 3116.
Failing that have you tried setting listen_address to only bind to an
ipv4 address to see if it makes a difference? (I don't think I've ever
tried ipv6 with postgresql on our AIX machines)
