Have you tried a newer version of libgda and gnomedb which is 0.2.95? 

gnomedb-fe can be started with no arguments.

Make sure the PostgreSQL postmaster is running before logging in.

Do not use:
  gchar *pg_provider =
"OAFIID:GNOME_GDA_Provider_Postgres_ConnectionFactory";

Use this instead:
  gchar *pg_provider = "OAFIID:GNOME_GDA_Provider_Postgres_Connection";

Notice the "Factory" part is missing.

Try to download the examples eg.tar.gz or eg.zip and use those instead
of copying and pasting from Brian Jepson's article.
