Hi Mike,

It appears that a symlink solved the problem. I did try someone else's =
symlink suggestion but it didn't point to the /usr/lib directory like =
Dmitry's did.

A brief conversation with Dmitry Morozovsky [mailto:marck@rinet.ru] in =
the pgsql-admin list produced the following:

He brings up a good point. I'm running something that's over a year =
behind and I think it would benefit me to be at 4.8 or at least 4.7.

Can you point me to a concise document that discusses the upgrade =
procedure?

Tamir Halperin.

p.s. and thanks again for all the attention. It does a heart good to be =
cared for by all you guys.
