Hi Steve,

pg_dump --version    returned 7.4.8
pg_dumpall --version returned 7.4.8
psql *version  returned 7.4.8
which pg_dump  returned /usr/bin/pg_dump
which pg_dumpall   returned /usr/bin/pg_dump
which psql  returned /usr/bin/psql

To find the file I used from the root
find . -name pg_dump

I have never installed any other version than 8.1.3.

Brian

What is the result of the following:
pg_dump --version
pg_dumpall --version
psql --version
which pg_dump
which pg_dumpall
which psql

What method did you use to search for files?

Cheers,
