There are versions of 8.3 for RHEL3,4 and 5 on the postgresql ftp sites and that's what I use. > I reinstalled CentOS yesterday and during installation I checked to include > PostgreSQL 8.1.11. Now it seems to work properly. You should really explore running 8.3.3. It's much faster than 8.1 and has a few features that are really nice to have.
