libpq.so.3 problem, PostgreSQL >= 8.0.2 and RPM installations

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

AFAICS from the user requests, many people is not aware about the
compatibility RPM we built:

http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-2PGDG.i686.rpm

is the compatibility RPM that fixes the problem which arose with
PostgreSQL 8.0.2 . With 8.0.2, the major number of libpq was bumped, and
all software that depends on libpq.so.3 failed/or needed to be recompiled.

With this RPM, you can overcome the problem. First install this package
and then install / upgrade PostgreSQL.

Once we had compat-postgresql-libs-3-1PGDG.i686.rpm (initial version), but
it was *extremely* buggy.

This RPM applies to all Red Hat / Fedora Core releases.

Please report any problems to pgsqlrpms-general@pgfoundry.org.

- -HTH
