I made 'apt-get install postgresql', but it was an old version, so I
purged it and then I compile and install 7.4.1 from source...

This is the output of 'dpkg -s postgresql':
debian-ojea:/home/carlos# dpkg -s postgresql
Package: postgresql
Status: purge ok not-installed
Priority: optional
Section: misc

But postgresql is installed:
carlos(at)debian-ojea:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D
/home/carlos/programacion/compulab/buques/database/
LOG: database system was shut down at 2004-06-22 17:44:05 CEST
LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/289F6F78
LOG: redo record is at 0/289F6F78; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG: next transaction ID: 735362; next OID: 17869
LOG: database system is ready

So, do you know what can I do to correct the problem?
Thank you, regards
Carlos
