PostgreSQL & Red Hat AS 2.1

Hello,

I've downloaded and installed PostgreSQL 7.4 onto a Red Hat Linux Advanced =
Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola) server.
The uname -a command produces:

Linux --.---.com 2.4.9-e.3smp #1 SMP Fri May 3 16:48:54 EDT 2002 i686 unkno=
wn

I created a database and expected to see 7.4 when I query the version; inst=
ead it seems that the version is 7.1.3.
The Supported Platforms matrix in the PostgreSQL Installation Instructions =
bundled with 7.4 download has this mapping:

Linux    x86     7.4

Is this right?

Thanks in advance,
John Muzzatti
