postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm error

I also had a problem installing the 7.0.3 RPM - it was conflicting with an old
version of postgresql
I had to uninstall the old RPM's first before it would work, I also found
Kpackage sorts some problems out

NB Are you logged in as root?

I had the same problem installing on Mandrake 7.2 using the mdk rpms. The
server still installed and seems to work. Anybody got any more details?

[root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm
[root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm
[root@localhost /tmp]# rpm -i postgresql-server-7.0.3-2.i386.rpm

/sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open 1 (No such file or directory), skipping

The ldconfig warnings are a bunch of bogosities. They are not a
problem. Now, an ldconfig _error_ is a bird of a different feather.....

I will investigate _why_ these warnings are even being generated -- but,
the gist is that they do not in any way cause problems with the actual
installation.

The technical side of it is that the ldconfig warnings are being issued
by a %post scriptlet, after the files themselves are already installed.
Ldconfig needs to be run to update ld.so on the new shared objects that
are being installed -- and ldconfig is choking on some files. Again,
I'll double check the scriptlet to see _why_ it's choking on these
particular filenames, but, in the meantime, it's not a big deal and
won't cause problems with the installation, AFAIK.

You should upgrade, not install if you already have postgresql installed.
