We always build against the absolute latest version of PostgreSQL -

if you
run into that situation, about all you can do is either upgrade, or
replace pg_dump with an older version.
The effort may not be warranted here, but for my applications which
need PostgreSQL utilities I have 3 options:
1. built-in version included with the distribution (default)
2. whatever is found on the program path
3. the user can specify the PostgreSQL bin path to use
I think that I can find a way to copy pg_dump and pg_restore into the
bundle (during "make install"), but I'll be very busy the
next few days,
so it'll have to wait until the weekend.
OK, great - thanks.
Excellent, I think this is the best option.
