./pg72/bin/pg_dump template1

pg_dump: server version: PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on i386-pc-linux-gnu, compiled
by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3 (Debian); pg_dump version: 7.2.3
pg_dump: aborting because of version mismatch (Use the -i option to proceed
anyway.)

./pg72/bin/pg_dump -i template1

pg_dump: server version: PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on i386-pc-linux-gnu, compiled
by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.3 (Debian); pg_dump version: 7.2.3
pg_dump: proceeding despite version mismatch
