So what am I missing? Looking in the right place, perhaps ;-). If the package is installed then "rpm -ql" will list all the files it installed. There are a couple of different layouts that different packagers like to use, so you might be accustomed to something different than what this particular package used. Related to that is that there are almost always sub-packages; it's likely that in addition to an rpm named just postgresql-NNN you need postgresql-server-NNN, and maybe some other bits. regards, tom lane
