The best thing, if possible, is to upgrade Ubuntu. 9.10 is end-of-life 
so in addition to difficulty installing PostgreSQL, you will be missing 
important bug-fix and security updates.

If you absolutely can't do that, you can try the one-click installer 
maintained by Enterprise DB which is supposed to work on 8.04+ 
(http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload).

And you can always compile from source. However if you don't have all 
the required software installed to compile from source you may have 
difficulty updating your system to install anything needed since 9.04 is 
no longer supported by Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Steve
