Re: Version Problems on Mac OS X.2 Jaguar

Do you have an existing 7.2 dump that could be used in a restore now? If so, you can install 7.3 and restore from that dump. If not, then you'll need to get 7.2.x (any version of it) on your 10.2 machine to make a dump. Or, move your existing 7.2.1.5 install to a 10.1 machine and make a dump there.

For 7.2.x on 10.2, you could try all three versions of Marc's distribution for a functional pg_dump or pg_dumpall. Or, install fink and try to get 7.2.x working via fink. Otherwise, you'll need to tweak the 7.2 sources manually (sorry, I can't help you with this last one).
