I have RHEL 5.4 (64bit) that has a postgresql-lib 8.1 installed to satisfy
dependancy for a dozen other packages including apache, php and other apache
modules, and subversion.
I want to install postresql 8.3 but yum informs me of the version conflict
of the library. May i safely just over write the postgresql-lib with the 8.3
lib ?? I'd rather not have to uninstall all the dependancies, install pg,
then reinstall everything I just removed facing more possible dependacy
issue.
any advice much appreciated.

I had a similar situation with other packages depending on /usr/lib64/libpq.so.4 owned by an old version of postgres-libs rpm.
I solved this by acquiring compat-postgresql-libs-4-1pgdg.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
from http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.2/redhat/rhel-5-x86_64/repoview/compat-postgresql-libs.html
Then install the compat-postgresql-libs rpm using --replacefiles
rpm -iv --replacefiles compat-postgresql-libs-4-1PGDG.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
You should then be able to cleanly remove the 8.1 version of postgresql-lib & install the rpm from 8.3:
rpm -e postgresql-libs
etc...
Hope that helps

No. They're not the same library major version.
As of RHEL5.5 there is a postgresql84 package, and postgresql84-libs can
be installed without a conflict with the 8.1 postgresql-libs. You might
consider going for that instead of 8.3.

No. I wrote a detailed guide to exactly how to step around this problem
by installing the compat-postgresql-libs package provided by the
PostgreSQL 8.3 package set you may find useful:

Thank you all. This group is amazingly helpful. The combinations of emails
and the document linked below did the trick.

yum should have replaced potgresql-libs with compatible-postgresql-
libs. If not, there may be something wrong with the repo.
