int8 & primary key error

I received the following error:

pos=> CREATE TABLE item (upc INT8 CONSTRAINT pk_upc PRIMARY KEY);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index pk_upc for
table it
em
ERROR: Can't find a default operator class for type 20.

anyone know what it means? I need to use an int8 field as the primary key in
a database I'm building but it won't let me... I have succesfully created
other tables so I know Postgres is working..
is there a place to look up error messages?
