You have evidently not installed PostgreSQL correctly -- I don't see
any evidence of a bug here.

The Supported Platforms matrix in the PostgreSQL Installation
Instructions bundled with 7.4 download has this mapping:

Linux x86 7.4

Linux/x86 is certainly supported by all recent releases of PostgreSQL
-- that is probably our most popular platform.

The old postmaster is still running, evidently. I'd say you missed a
few steps of installation.

Sounds like your original installation of RH had an
installation of postgres in a different location. so
now you have two and the other one is the one you are
seeing when you start up.

Hello,

I've downloaded and installed PostgreSQL 7.4 onto a
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS
(Pensacola) server.
The uname -a command produces:

Linux --.---.com 2.4.9-e.3smp #1 SMP Fri May 3
16:48:54 EDT 2002 i686 unknown

I created a database and expected to see 7.4 when I
query the version; instead it seems that the version
is 7.1.3.
The Supported Platforms matrix in the PostgreSQL
Installation Instructions bundled with 7.4 download
has this mapping:

Linux x86 7.4

Is this right?

Thanks in advance,
John Muzzatti
