I just set up a new server and would like to use rpms to manage the

the time, but over time it seems to get messy.
I'm using CentOS 4.2, which only has packages for postgres 7.4, but I
very much want to use 8.1. I installed the 8.1 RPMs, but when I try
to install packages like perl-DBD-Pg, or php-pgsql, rpm complains
because they want libpq.so.3, and postgres 8.1 comes with libpq.so.4.
Does anyone have a workaround for this? I've thought about forcing
the rpms to install, or even installing the postgres libs from 7.4.
I did a rpmbuild --rebuld of those two packages (perl and php) after I
installed 8.1. This worked OK, but I can't run a nightly yum update
because it complains that it can't install the update for the php package.
Is there some type of compat rpm that we can install so that these
packages will find the required version of libpq?
