As the PostgreSQL that comes with that system is from RPM, that
version's executables are in /usr/bin -- if you want the new version's
executables to be used, put the path to them _before_ /usr/bin in your
PATH -- are you WILL be surprised at the buggy results.
If you are not actively using the old PostgreSQL, and have the RPMset
files to reinstall, you should be safe in issuing an 'rpm -e' for each
postgresql rpm that 'rpm -qa|grep postgresql' returns.
