(This is offtopic for this list).

Anyway, RHEL 4 will not provide PostgreSQL 8.0 in RHEL 4 (will do possibly
in RHEL 5). So, you should use the following binaries:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.0.4/linux/rpms/redhat/rhel-es-4/

to upgrade to 8.0. Please note that you'll need a dump/reload.
