Dear sir/mam,
    I accept that, but I require the details of which Ubuntu version support the postgresql8.3
    Kindly share it.

postgresql 8.3 has reached end-of-life in 2013. You must definitely use a more recent version.

Dear Flo,
    Thank you so much for your suggested things.
    I've tried to install postgresql 8.3.7 in ubuntu 16.04 using the source file (postgresql-8.3.7.tar.gz) with the following steps :
                   ./configure
                   make
                   su    
                  make install
                   adduser postgres
                   mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
                   chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
                   su - postgres
                   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
                   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
                   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
                   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test

        Upto su - postgres all are fine.
        But for /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data :
                The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
                This user must also own the server process.

                The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_IN.
                The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8.
                The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

                fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data ... ok
                creating subdirectories ... ok

                initdb: removing contents of data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data"

        /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
            starts to run on background.

        But while creating the db, it failed
        /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
        createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
         Is the server running locally and accepting
         connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
         [1]+  Exit 2                  /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data > logfile 2>&1

        While check with log, logfile
                postgres cannot access the server configuration file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory

        Kindly help to resolve this.

All current versions of Ubuntu support postgresql 8.3, but you'll have to build it from source.

Thank you so much your suggestions help me lot .....

While using
./configure CFLAGS="-01", I got some error. Its seems to 01, but when I use CFLAGS="-O1" its working properly.
I've follow the https://franklingu.github.io/reading/2017/01/27/installing-postgresql-8.3/ (helps to resolve the issue).
That's lot for your help.

If you search just a little bit, you'll find that's a known issue.

You should give arguments when you run configure script, but it seems to depend on you compiler:

./configure CFLAGS="-01"

or 

./configure CFLAGS="-01" CC=clang

P.S. Don't forget to run `make clean` before !

The correct option would be CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations"

That option will be used by default if you compile the REL8_3_STABLE
branch tip from git; as an exceptional case, the option was backpatched
to that branch (and some others) even after it was EOLed.

Thanks, Yes after installing the libperl-dev, I didn't get the error for "$libdir/plperl",

but I'm getting error for "$libdir/dblink".

Kindly provide the solution for that also, please.

The problem is here: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl

If you want to build perl library, you need to install libperl-dev package.

Thanks a lot, its working fine.
Further any clarification, I will request psql-general.

From https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/contrib.html:

"When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically. You can build and install all of them by running

gmake
gmake install

in the contrib directory of a configured source tree; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Many of the modules have regression tests, which can be executed by running

gmake installcheck

once you have a PostgreSQL server running. (Note that gmake check is not supported; you must have an operational database server to perform these tests, and you must have built and installed the module(s) to be tested.)"

Btw, you should have asked that on pgsql-general, because it's not a bug.

The correct option would be CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations"

That option will be used by default if you compile the REL8_3_STABLE

to that branch (and some others) even after it was EOLed.
