Most versions of Linux do have PG in them. You probably want to remove the 7.4.8 files to avoid confusion like this. > The dump also failed with this error: > Error message from server: ERROR: column "datpath" does not exist That's because that version of pg_dump is too old to understand the 8.1 server's catalog layout. There's a good reason why it refused to dump from a newer server by default; it knows it probably ain't gonna work. regards, tom lane
