There's no software linked with libpq.so.4 on standard RHEL 4. They are all built on libpq.so.3. IMHO, your problem is that it seems to the RPM database that compat 4 is newer than compat. I think we should have 2 different packages with different names compat-3 and compat-4. But you only need the compat package with libpq.so.3 to install 8.1 and 8.2 on RHEL 4. -- Guillaume ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Just use this package: http://developer.postgresql.org/~devrim/rpms/compat/ (and especially http://developer.postgresql.org/~devrim/rpms/compat/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm as you don't seem to use 64 bits packages) which includes libpq.so.3.
