Hi,

pgAdmin II was developed with PostgreSQL 7.1.X which has a 'datlastsysoid'
column in pg_database. This isn't in PostgreSQL 6.5 and hence the error
occur. Unfortunately I don't have the time to ensure pgAdmin runs with
earlier versions of PostgreSQL (though in the future, I will try to maintain
backwards compatibility with versions we previously supported).

I would strongly suggest upgrading to PostgreSQL 7.1.3 - there have been a
huge amount of bug fixes and new features since 6.5.3. And of course,
pgAdmin II will work :-).

Regards Dave.
