entity-relationship diagram software

Does anyone know of any good package for Linux for assisting with database
design?  I'd like to find a program that can be used to create/manipulate
entity-relationship diagrams.  It would be nice bonus if one could also output
the postgresql sql schemas from it.

Something like Dia would do the job which I've got as part of the
helix-desktop install (http://www.helixcode.com), or from the homepage at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/
Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
 Graeme

It is not strictly ERD but a VERY reasonable CASE with above other things
Coad-Yourdon OOA that can be easily extended to ERD denotations. The best
choice (because of licencing) is precompiled version.

I installed the binary.  When I run it, it complains that it can't find
splash.so: couldn't open splash.so: No such file or directory.

The program Seg Faults a lot.  Is there some installation step that maybe I
have missed?  I'm running Slackware 7.0.
