Pay attention to the exact message and do not flounder around
aimlessly. There is no reason to be messing about with pg_hba.conf.
You have some kind of system problem here.
execv() is a system call to run another executable in place of the
current process. If the other executable is not present, or does not
have permissions, you will not be able to run it. Find out why.
