Re: Post install - error

Hmmm... it says /usr/local/pgsql/data is still under 6.5 (the PG_VERSION
file has 6.5 in it).  Wierd, I would have figured the rpm uninstall would
have gotten rid of the old files.  I assume I just can't cheat and change
the file from saying 6.5 to 7.0.  Do I need to delete ALL the files and
reinstall the program?
