Thanks for your suggestions.
I followed through on suggestions below, but I am having a lot of problems.
Probably the basic problem is that I have RedHat ES (Enterprise) 3.0, and
the nearest I can find on www.postgres.org for pgAdmin3 is a Fedora version;
it keeps asking me for more and more libraries as I try to install the rpm.
That is part of the reason I tried to install an older version of pgAdmin,
as I was hoping to avoid a lot of new requirements that might not be
supported
on an older (2 yrs old?) Linux server.
If I drop back from PostgreSQL v 8.1.2 to 8.0.7, will pgAdmin 1.2 work with
it?
Any other suggestions?

You need 1.4.x for PostgreSQL 8.1 support.

Use 1.4.x, it includes additional aid.
