Hi Steve,

pg_dump --version    returned 7.4.8
pg_dumpall --version returned 7.4.8
psql *version  returned 7.4.8
which pg_dump  returned /usr/bin/pg_dump
which pg_dumpall   returned /usr/bin/pg_dump
which psql  returned /usr/bin/psql

To find the file I used from the root find . -name pg_dump

It would be unusual for the files to be in those locations if you did the usual "./configure ; make ; make install". How, exactly, did you install PostgreSQL?

As Scott suggested, try running "rpm -qa | grep -i postgres" (assuming rpm is at the core of your package management) and when you find that it was already installed, use rpm to erase it.

Here, things can get interesting. While you may not have intentionally installed PostgreSQL, your package manager may have installed it for you to solve a dependency (PHP with PG support or some app that requires PG for example) you may find your package manager complaining about dependencies when you try to remove it. But worry about burning that bridge when you get to it.

Cheers,
Steve
