Yes, you are right. I didn't stop the server before un-installing. Not good. I should have thought about that. Not sure how to repair that though.
running pg_config :

VERSION = PostgreSQL 8.3.7
It definetly points to the old version (8.3 .. why is 8.3 still in the ubuntu package manager btw...?) ..

I am guessing I should delete the pg_config (or else there would be a conflict, right?) in the /usr/bin and run :
>> export PATH=/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/:$PATH
is that correct? ( I learned from you other message :) )
Is there other things that could have been destroyed by the bad un-installment other than pg_config or was that it ?
