libpq.so.3 problem, PostgreSQL >= 8.0.2 and RPM installations

Hi,

AFAICS from the user requests, many people is not aware about the
compatibility RPM we built:

http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-2PGDG.i686.rpm

is the compatibility RPM that fixes the problem which arose with
PostgreSQL 8.0.2 . With 8.0.2, the major number of libpq was bumped, and
all software that depends on libpq.so.3 failed/or needed to be recompiled.

With this RPM, you can overcome the problem. First install this package
and then install / upgrade PostgreSQL.

Once we had compat-postgresql-libs-3-1PGDG.i686.rpm (initial version), but
it was *extremely* buggy.

This RPM applies to all Red Hat / Fedora Core releases.

Please report any problems to pgsqlrpms-general@pgfoundry.org.

- -HTH

I would like to compile this for my architecture from source.
Could you please tell me where the source rpm is?
(I can't seem to find a pointer to this rpm anywhere
but in this email.  Is there a web page/ftp site?)

Thanks.

We have the 3rd (and latest) version. They are both at the same URL:

http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.i686.rpm
http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/compat-postgresql-libs-3-3PGDG.src.rpm

Also, there's a README:
