Err, no. libpq stuff is provided by postgresql-libs package, not -devel
package.

It is not a trouble, it is a feature ;)

Make sure that you installed correct repo RPM -- and please also paste
the exact error message.

It is used for RHEL 4 and up. (Actually CentOS 4 supports yum, and you
can use its packages in RHEL 4. yum is the native package management
software for RHEL 5 and above)

FWIW, -libs package is at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary , too --
but I suggest you using yum repo.
