Postgres install goes fine as a fresh install. Psql access is fine. Pgdb (the python interface) cursor.execute fails on any query; it asks for "pg_type.typprtlen", which has apparently been deleted from postgresql 7.3: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-07/msg00577.php sty:> python Python 2.2.1 (#1, Sep 25 2002, 17:25:00) [GCC 3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pgdb >>> db=pgdb.connect(host='localhost',database='template1') >>> cur=db.cursor() >>> cur.execute('select * from pg_class') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
