I also tried "yum provides libpq.so.3" which returned compat-postgresql-libs-3-2PGDG.rhel4.i686 and I do have that RPM installed.

I thought this might be due to CentOS upgrading from 4.7 to 4.8 so I tried "yum upgrade" and got the same error (Missing Dependency: libpq.so.3 is needed by package...).

I first thought this was a Linux/yum problem and I asked in a CentOS forum first but it all revolves around Postgresql packages and the most recent Postgres update.

Is there anything left except reinstalling Postgres?

Thanks again,
