That version has been out of support for over five years.

Unless you're writing a history book, you want something more current.

What is the output of?: uname -a

Requesting information is not a bug.  If you need further help, then you
might find http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/ useful - in
particular click on the 'pgsql-novice' mailing list link, as 'No
question is too simple for this list'!

You might find http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/FAQ useful,

PG 7.3.4 is no longer supported, the oldest supported version is
8.3.22.  You would be well advised to install 8.4 or later, preferably
at least 9.1.  The most up-to-date version of pg is 9.2.2.

Linux is a kernel, the latest version is *3.6.9 - '*Linux 6' is
meaningless.  More useful is the distribution, Fedora, Ubuntu, ...
Usually Linux distibutions have some sort of package manager, that will
install a reasonably current version of Postgres.
