I have RHEL 5.4 (64bit) that has a postgresql-lib 8.1 installed to satisfy dependancy for a dozen other packages including apache, php and other apache modules, and subversion.
I want to install postresql 8.3 but yum informs me of the version conflict of the library. May i safely just over write the postgresql-lib with the 8.3 lib ??
No. I wrote a detailed guide to exactly how to step around this problem by installing the compat-postgresql-libs package provided by the PostgreSQL 8.3 package set you may find useful: http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/pgrpm.htm
