Ah sorry I've just re-read your original e-mail and thought you meant
the error was when you ran PgAdmin, not while trying to install the RPM.

I believe this is because the client libraries weren't installed via the
RPM package manager (that's the problem I had back when I used Fedora.)

Try doing a "force"'d install - (see rpm --help), I think it's something
like "rpm --force -i /path/to/pgadmin.rpm".

You may get other libraries, particularly OpenSSL, that also need
linking to /lib and /usr/lib etc. That worked for me on FC5 with
PgAdmin 1.4.3.
