Hi Bruce,

Thank you for the reply.  Indeed it is "9.1":

# cat /postgresql/9.1/main/PG_VERSION
9.1

And just for good measure:

cat /postgresql/9.2/main/PG_VERSION
9.2

And there are no other PostgreSQL versions on this machine.

Hmm... I was just about to send this when something else occurred to me.
 I had initially tried to run pg_upgrade as root and it said it couldn't
be run as root.  So I've been running it as my own user (which is in the
postgres group).  However, everything in /postgresql/9.1/main is owned
by postgres with 700 permissions.

I switched to the postgres user and now pg_upgrade is running.  Perhaps
just a more informative error message is in order.

Thank you for the shove in the right direction =)

Cheers!

    - Chris
