Version Discrepancy
pg_config is telling us that we are running version 7.3.6-RH, but when
we start psql it shows that we are running 8.1.4 (which is the correct
version).
[postgres@mh bin]$ pg_config --version
PostgreSQL 7.3.6-RH
[postgres@mh bin]$ which postmaster
~/bin/postmaster
[postgres@mh bin]$ psql imp
Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
This isn't causing any problems, but does seem a bit unusual. We
purchased a Dell server with RHEL preinstalled, minus postgres, which we
installed ourselves. No non-8.1.4 versions of pg_ctl or postmaster exist
on the server. Any ideas on what's causing this?
Thanks,
Ron

Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
I'm guessing that for some reason the pg_config from 7.X is found
first in your PATH. What does 'which pg_config' print?

That's it. 'which pg_config' returns /usr/bin/pg_config
I guess that I ran it too early on a Saturday morning, I must have
blindly assumed that my '[postgres@mh bin]$ pg_config --version' command
would look at the current directory first by default.
Thanks Doug!
