Forget that, I missed this part:

>>run "createdb test_Electra"? y
>>Command returned error code 16777215: No such file or directory

Try the postgresql mailing list.  I'm not familiar with OSX error messages, 
but it might be something as simple as not finding the 'createdb' 
command.  In which case, try

whereis createdb

or

updatedb; locate createdb #will take a long time

or, if it's perms/users problem:

su - postgres  #or whatever the user is in OSX, check /etc/passwd
createdb

HTH,
