There has been a debate about where to log, and the end result was not
to default to eventlog. You can enable eventlogging by editing
postgresql.conf, look for the parameter "log_destination".
Log files by default go into the pg_log subdirectory of the data
directory.

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll have a look. Just a suggestion: as this is
fairly non-obvious, couldn't the installer just ask where to set logging to?
Thanks,
