Hi all, Ive just installed the latest version of Postgres 8 on a RedHat 9 server. The problem im having is than when I try to login to the database i.e. 'psql -U postgres template1' im getting the following message:
 
psql: relocation error: psql: undefined symbol: PQsetErrorVerbosity
 
Upon reading an answer to a previous question this could be cause by a version conflict i.e using old 7.x librarys. So ive checked this, and yes there is another version 7.3 installed which is the default RedHat install. However when checking using 'ldd `which psql` the following libraries are displayed which I believe to be correct:
 
        libpq.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpq.so.3 (0x40026000)
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x4003c000)
        libssl.so.4 => /lib/libssl.so.4 (0x40044000)
        libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x40079000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x4016a000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4016c000)
        libreadline.so.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x4017a000)
        libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x401a7000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x401ab000)
        libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x401d8000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x401ea000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401ff000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x40203000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
        libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x40226000)
        libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x40284000)
        libcom_err.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3 (0x40297000)
        libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x40299000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Anyways im now desperately stuck, I have 2 versions of postgres install (my mistake), and I dont know how to remove them and start a fresh install because:
 
rpm -qa | grep postg  (shows current rpms)
postgresql-server-8.0.1-1PGDG
postgresql-8.0.1-1PGDG
 
Does anyone have any idea of how to resolve this problem, I can connect using PGAdminIII but I really would like to be able to login in properly from Command-line also.
 
Many Thx, Mark.
