Sorry for the late response.

On my RH 9 box, I've rebuilt our SRPM and here is the result:

[root@evim SRPMS]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
[root@evim SRPMS]# rpm -qp --requires /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm |grep libpq
libpq.so.4

It's the same box that I've built RH9 RPMs previously...

I'll upload the new RPMs now, maybe there were another problem during the
previous packaging.

Thanks.
