Looks like they have both. there are postgres binaries in /usr/bin
tied to 8.1.4 RPM's. There are also binaries in /pg825/bin tied to a
postgres 8.2.5 source install.

In either case I get the same error

I go to /usr/share/pgsql/contrib installed by the postgresql-
contrib-8.1.4-1.1 rpm and run /usr/bin/psql -f pg_buffercache.sql
<dbname>

I also tried goint to the src tree in the contrib/pg_buffercache dir
and running this:
export PATH=/pg825/bin
make (as postgres)
make install (as root)
/pg825/bin/psql -f pg_buffercache.sql <dbname>

also
/usr/bin/pg_config --libdir shows me /usr/lib64

/pg825/bin/pg_config --libdir shows me /disk1/pg825/lib

I even tried placing the pg_buffercache.so.* files from the src build
in the lib dirs:
/usr/lib64
/disk1/pg825/lib
/disk1/pg825/lib/postgresql

and I still got the same error

Thoughts ?
