Thanks all. Turns out I didn't have any problems at all. I just ran this command, all rpms together as Devrim Gunduz suggested - -- rpm -Uvh postgresql-8.2.9-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm postgresql-contrib-8.2.9-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm postgresql-devel-8.2.9-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm postgresql-libs-8.2.9-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm postgresql-server-8.2.9-1PGDG.rhel4.i386.rpm -- Database working in tiptop condition :)
