Hmm; the only occurrence of that string in the sources is in nodes/read.c, which AFAIK would never be invoked for a query entered straight from the client. What could trigger it would be trying to read a rule that is misformatted for some reason. Maybe you have a damaged pg_user view definition --- does "select * from pg_user" fail the same way?
I installed pg 8.0.0 over 8.0.1-r3 (without touching the data directory) and then it worked again, so I don't think it has to do with the data being broken. I didn't do createdb or anything. I used gentoo emerge.
If you need it for debug, I can reinstall 8.0.1-r3 and see if it still fails.
Can you get phppgadmin to work on this latest version ?
Thank you,
