It didn´t work.
and all the packages depend on those client libraries (e.g. GRASS GIS), so i can forget about just upgrading.
I like the debian style better. Use pg_createcluster and voila: two back-ends with different versions. (though i haven´t tried installing pgAdmin for a different backend version on a debian machine)
Whatever, i guess i´ll just go w/ the flow and accept that a fedora versions come with package versions.
I guess i should brag about this on fedora forums..

You´re right, pgAdmin depends on that dll, but it stores a new one for a new major version (each of which has a seperate folder in "C:/Program Files/pgAdminIII/"). I have pgAdmin 1.4.3 (libpq.dll version 8.1.4.6142) and 1.6.1 (libpq.dll version 8.1.5.6286) running on the same machine with no problems. The back-end is version 8.1.0.
I guess what you are proposing for linux is pretty much the same idea, only not as pretty.
I think i´ll try to extract the libpq.so.5 from the rpm, without compiling postgres, and use that

I´ll let you know if it worked (or not).

Cheers,
