moreover the link
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.5/linux/rpms/fedora/fedora-core-4/
is just containing the drivers.

Can you please tell what the problem is?

There was an issue with making RPM's for 8.1.5 which is probably why
these RPM's are not available as yet.

You can either download the 8.1.4 RPM's (simply change 8.1.5 to 8.1.4 in
your links above) or you can get the 8.1.5 source and compile yourself.

Probably there was no one with FC4 systems to build the rpms. You can
download the source rpms and build the rpms from it:

Download from:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.5/linux/srpms/fedora/fedora-core-4/

And then build for x86:

rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686-redhat-Linux
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=binary%2Fv8.1.5%2Flinux%2Fsrpms%2Ffedora%2Ffedora-core-4%2Fpostgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

and for x86_64:
rpmbuild --rebuild
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=binary%2Fv8.1.5%2Flinux%2Fsrpms%2Ffedora%2Ffedora-core-4%2Fpostgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

If you do it place the rpms where Devrim can copy them to the ftp server.

hi
i downloaded the srpm from the location that you have specified for Refora core 4, x 86, 64 bit arch.

i am now trying to do:
rpmbuild --rebuild /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

it gives the following error:

Installing /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/postgresql-8.1.5.tar.bz2;455ac7b9: cpio: read
error: /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm cannot be installed

Download the file again, from another mirror. Either you have a corrupt
download, or the mirror hasn't picked up the file correctly.
