I had to do a web search to find out what that meant.  For the
benefit of others, this is application software "for libraries
that helps library patrons find library materials, and helps
libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials."

A major release in PostgreSQL is identified by everything before
the second dot.  9.0, 9.1, and 9.2 are have different feature sets.
Beyond that, it often helps to know the minot release because
there may be bug fixes in later minor releases which are relevant.
The best thing, where possible, is to show the output of running
this on a database connection:

SELECT version();

Logs and error messages are really needed for anyone to make a
useful suggestion.  Is there some reason you can't show the
relevant parts on this list?  If you do, you are very likely to get
a volunteer to offer advice.
