Mandrake has postgres as a normal rpm application. The problem is that the
last MDK version is 7.4.5 .
If you want version 8.03 you must compile it. It is easy : see the INSTALL
file.
One point of problem : MDK uses diferent directories to install postgres than
the default instalation from compilation. MDK also has scripts to launch and
stop postgres deamon. Compilation will not give you these scripts.

I suggest also that you leave the 10.1 Community and upgrade to 10.1 Official.
Community is a beta version.
