so, then the question becomes one of whether or not the
rh-postgresql-libs RPM will conflict with whatever customer 8.3 build
shad k. is using... hopefully, the 8.3 build has its libraries in a
private location like /opt/pgsql83/lib or /usr/local/pgsql/lib rather
than the RH default location of /usr/lib ... the php-pgsql module is
likely going to load the /usr/lib/libpq.so 7.3 library and try to
connect with the 8.3 server.
