Drew,

   Oh, darn! I'm so tangled in trying to fix three broken (or weakened) apps
that I didn't look in Google. Apologies are humbly offered.

   I have postgres-8.1.4 installed and 8.2.1 waiting in the wings. I want to
resolve these other three problems (SQL-Ledger, mail system, and a broken
application since I upgraded wxPython to -2.8.0.1); I don't need a fourth
problem.

   Well, ...:

/usr/lib/libpq.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libpq.so.3.1
/usr/lib/libpq.so.4.1
/usr/lib/libpq.so.3
/usr/lib/libpq.so.4
/usr/lib/libpq.so
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so.3.0
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so.3.1
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so.3
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so

   I got rid of the last four because they date back to 2003-2004, except for
the links which were updated during the upgrade.

   OK. Now I try to make and install DBD::Pg. Results to follow.

Thanks,

Rich
