Yes we do - and simply switching to the RPM distro is unlikely to
solve the problem as the OP is obviously not aware of the what the
problem is and will probably grab the latest version available.
Eduardo; the error you see occurs because the data directory you have
is not compatible with the PostgreSQL version you are trying to
install. Given the catalog version number the installer is reporting
that it's found, your existing data directory is from PostgreSQL 8.2.
You should therefore install the latest 8.2 RPM (or build from
source), as the one-click installer is not available for the 8.2
series.
Why you have a PG 8.2 data directory under /usr/local/postgresql_8.3
is another question entirely...

Where do we distribute .bin files?

No that is a link to another vendors open source software. That is not
a .Org file. Note I am not arguing to remove the link but it is
certainly not software that is "distributed by PostgreSQL.Org".

I much prefer the PGDG RHEL5 rpms on Centos5. IT's much easier to
update and they work very very well.

By the same token, neither is anything on the Yum repository (as
sponsored by Command Prompt), or Fink, or MacPorts, or FreeBSD Ports
or Debian/Ubuntu APT, or the SUSE download site...
So what's your point exactly? Do we only offer support for source,
Win32, Solaris and PGDG RPM builds downloaded form ftp.postgresql.org
here now?

By the looks of it you are running the installer in text mode which I
don't believe I ever actually tried.... but one (or more) of those
629(!) locales it found on your system is presumably es_ES. Scroll
your terminal back up until you find it and enter it's number. Or,
just select the default option (1) which will setup the locale to
whatever initdb finds you are already running, which presumably is
Spanish.

Yes that would be correct.

Easy Dave. I was simply trying to figure out where the .bin came from,
which in turn came with a recommendation which I stand by that no one
should be using anything but operating supported packages (in this
case RPM, and assuming the package is available).
I think it is also important to make a distinction that it is not
a .Org distributed file, so "if" there is a problem we can point the
user in the right direction to get help. Which may or may not be on
this list.

Which, not all of it is, at least not from any source I'm aware of.

Whether or not it's '.Org distributed' is irrelevant - I doubt you
could help with a win32 installation problem for example. What is
relevant, is the origin of the package, regardless of whether it came
from the PostgreSQL ftp site.

Yeah, I get that - I designed the installer to work that way, and to
check that a pre-existing data directory is of the correct catalog
version before allowing the user to proceed.
What I was getting at was why the OP appears to have an 8.2 data
directory under a directory called 'postgresql_8.3'.
