pgAdmin2 uses ODBC directly you do not need to set any data sources up using
ODBC.

I would check the option above, it is the most common cause for failure.
If tcp/ip is not set to true then pgAdmin will not connect!
You might want to check the file: $PGDATA/pg_hba.conf as well. This file holds
information about who can connect according to IP address ranges.

If you have not created one then there will only be "template1"

You can create a database once you connect via pgAdmin2

Not really sure on this one.
What about trying -U option instead of install and also which rpm files did you
down-load - were they built for Redhat 8.0?

It will run on almost any Unix based platform + Mac + windows (via
cigwin) -take your choice.
