Pay attention to the fact that pgaccess 0.93 is working fine with
PostgreSQL 6.4.x due to some changes in libpgtcl
PgAccess can work with older PostgreSQL versions but there is a single
line that have to be changed.
Upgrading to 6.4.1 might be a good solution!

STRANGE !!! VERY STRANGE !!!
Let's find first if libpgtcl is working good!
enter the following commands in a shell ($ is the prompter)
collection is the database name, people a table name
$ tclsh
tcl> load libpgtcl.so
tcl> set dbc [pg_connect collection]
tcl> pg_select $dbc "select * from people" tup {puts [array get tup]}
tcl> pg_disconnect $dbc
tcl> exit
If something from above does not work, that means that you have a
problem with libpgtcl, not with pgaccess !
Send me the error message!
send me please also the result of
grep -v "^#" /where_it_is/pg_hba.conf
