From what I gather it is static binary package built against libraries at a point in time in a distribution that may or may not be in exact sync with the distribution you are running. Which is fine when you run it by itself. Then you try to 'merge' it with a package that comes from another source. Most of the time the close enough rule will apply and things will work. When it does not you get the above. If you want less drama I would say stick with your distributions repo or use the Postgres RPM repo: http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ Or, build from source. > Holger Friedrich -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
