I just set up a new server and would like to use rpms to manage the software on this one.  I've done the compile from source thing most of the time, but over time it seems to get messy.

I'm using CentOS 4.2, which only has packages for postgres 7.4, but I very much want to use 8.1.  I installed the 8.1 RPMs, but when I try to install packages like perl-DBD-Pg, or php-pgsql, rpm complains because they want libpq.so.3, and postgres 8.1 comes with libpq.so.4.

Does anyone have a workaround for this?  I've thought about forcing the rpms to install, or even installing the postgres libs from 7.4.

Suggestions?

Thanks.
