Assuming you need that version for some unknown reason, try posting some details on the errors, and on the exact versions of postgres and ubuntu you are using. Anyway, this does not seem to be a bug, so you probably could get better responses trying in the pgsql-general list or something like it, posting here you risk getting and answer of "not a bug" and nothing more even if you provide details ( due to version 8.2 being unsupported for a long time, among other things ).

This documentation is pretty obsolete (2006) - now, usual setup is based on using prepared packages from repository. This documentation is much more adequate https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-14-04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/633919/how-install-postgresql-9-4 Regards Pavel Stehule > > Sincerely, > Jennyfer Sanchez >
