Yes we do - and simply switching to the RPM distro is unlikely to
solve the problem as the OP is obviously not aware of the what the
problem is and will probably grab the latest version available.
Eduardo; the error you see occurs because the data directory you have
is not compatible with the PostgreSQL version you are trying to
install. Given the catalog version number the installer is reporting
that it's found, your existing data directory is from PostgreSQL 8.2.
You should therefore install the latest 8.2 RPM (or build from
source), as the one-click installer is not available for the 8.2
series.
Why you have a PG 8.2 data directory under /usr/local/postgresql_8.3
is another question entirely...
