Try --nodeps instead of --force.
Hopefully that should tell it to ignore any package dependencies.

keep getting the error: "libpq.so.5 is needed by
pgadmin3-1.6.1-2.i386". I
have two versions of postgresql on my system, but I am currently
using
the
newer version of postgres which contains "libpq.so.5" in
/usr/local/pgsql/lib. I made sys-links to this file in /usr/lib and
usr/local/lib, but when I try to install it I get the same error. Is
there
some other way to get pgadmin to locate this postgresql library.
Try linking the libpq.so.5 library in /lib as well.
Failing that, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" to
the bottom, and run "ldconfig."

Sorry, I meant to say I had it in the /lib directory as well. I tried
running ldconfig with what you said and it didn't work doing it that
way
either. When I run ld it says: "/usr/local/pgsql/lib is not a known
library" and the rpm still can't locate the libpq.so.5 file.
Ah sorry I've just re-read your original e-mail and thought you meant
the error was when you ran PgAdmin, not while trying to install the RPM.
I believe this is because the client libraries weren't installed via
the RPM package manager (that's the problem I had back when I used
Fedora.)
Try doing a "force"'d install - (see rpm --help), I think it's
something like "rpm --force -i /path/to/pgadmin.rpm".
You may get other libraries, particularly OpenSSL, that also need
linking to /lib and /usr/lib etc. That worked for me on FC5 with
PgAdmin 1.4.3.
HTH
Andy.
