Pardon a dumb question. Installing Postgres 7.x on FC4-6, I would install a large set of RPMs, these I think:

    postgresql
    postgresql-contrib
    postgresql-devel
    postgresql-jdbc
    postgresql-libs
    postgresql-python
    postgresql-server

I then had everything I need to run postgres and access it from Java and Python (through the pygresql driver).

I'm now trying to move to 8.3.x on Fedora 9. Using pgdg-83-fedora.repo, yum finds two RPMs, postgresql-8.3.3-1PGDG.f9.i386 and postgresql-libs-8.3.3-1PGDG.f9.i386. I checked postgresql.org, but the fedora 9 directories are empty, (unlike the f7 and f8 directories).

I know that the JDBC driver is a separate project, but I'm having trouble getting python access to work. I downloaded PyGreSQL-3.8.tgz, but cannot install it because it relies on pg_config, which is not present the the 8.3.3 RPMs I installed.

Am I just on the wrong path here, starting with the postgresql and postgresql-libs RPMs?
