Under FreeBSD, you should be using the ports. In this case, you could
simply use the following commands in the postgresql port directory:
make
pkg_delete postgresql-6.5.2
make install
Though the procedure was simple, there was a little gotcha. You need to:
psql template1
select oid,* from pg_database;
remove one of the two template1 tables by using the oid.
Good luck,
Marc
