Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as
possible,you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

FYI for future reference I would use zypper search postgres. zypper info
needs an exact name, search is more like grep -i. In any case
postgresql94 is not in the default repos.

I am on openSUSE 13.1 and compile my Postgres versions from source. If
you want to get an RPM package I would look here(see WARNING below):

http://software.opensuse.org/package/postgresql94


*WARNING* I have not done this and I do not know if it installs over the
existing Postgres install or not. I would definitely backup your data
and conf files. The safer route would be to try this out on another
machine, say a cloud instance *WARNING*
