Devrim, I had some problems installing on RedHat ES3.0 with the RPMs. This issue turned out to be that I needed the compat libs to provide the old libs before I could install the new libs.
I found a link to http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm in an archived post from -hackers. It wasn't all that obvious what was required though, so is it possible that this RPM could actually be put with the downloads for the main RPMs? I'm not sure anyone's installation would succeed without that RPM on RedHat ES3.0. Please let me know if I'm missing something. As an aside: is it possible to actually to just include the contents of compat-libs in postgresql-libs, since they actually seem to be required? It'd save me some hassles for future installations. Probably other folks too. Regards, Philip.
