Rails, rake and postgresql roles

Hello!

I have a problem when running db:create in a newly created rails
project.

With a project named ‘yoyo’ as an example, rake db:create gives me the
response

FATAL C28000 Mrole “yoyo” does not exist Fmiscinit.c L420
RInitializeSessionUserId
[…many lines of traceing…]
Couldn’t create database for {“encoding”=>“unicode”,
“username”=>“lapis”,
“adapter”=>“postgresql”, “password”=>nil,
“database”=>“lapis_development”,
“pool”=>5}
$

… whereas if I create a project with the name of an existing psql role
(for
example my own user name), things go well. What is this stuff? Must I
create
psql roles for each project now? Would be kinda weird.

Last summer when I was doing rails stuff this worked without any
problems.
Since then, of course both ruby, rails and postgres versions have
changed.

The current versions I have on my MacBook pro (OSX 10.5.7) are:

$ psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 8.3.3
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]
$ rails -v
Rails 2.3.2

What gives? I so wanna go by rails (toot-toot!) right now. Sniff.

/Your friend - me
