You could try the Mandrake supplied RPMs for PG v8.0 that are included
with cooker already.
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/postgres*
Use this URL:
ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main
with URPMI, then it should install it for you, and do all the dirty
work.
Or if you don't want to upgrade to Cooker, you could try just
downloading the RPMs and running URPMI <rpm1> <rpm2> ...
I just installed it this afternoon and it worked like a charm.
