Note that you can in theory install multiple versions of the client
libraries. People have posted here on the list about setting up aliases
to switch between versions.
$ pg7.4
$ psql
... runs psql version 7.4 ..
$ pg8.1
$ psql
... runs psql version 8.1 ...
That way, if version skew is bothering you, you can jump out and use
the matching client version for the best results...
Have a nice day,
