Tom & Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I guess I get this error because there are two versions 
of postgreSQL installed on the same machine.

Regards,
Pooja

Just so the OP is aware, running pg_ctl with the restart option is generally 
not adequate to prevent problems with an update, in place or not.  The 
postmaster must be stopped and then started.  Some service scripts may do that, 
others don't.  So the safe thing, unless you know exactly how your service 
script is written, is to stop and then start again.
