* Large text fields in the database

I am using the RPM packaged postgreSQL server 7.1.3 which is
shipped with RH 7.2.

The problem I have is the size of text fields. Although in Documentation
it clearly says that the DB supports text fields larger than 8Kb, I am
unable to insert or update fields (and tables for that matter) with data
larger than 8Kb.

Whenever I try to do that, I get unresolved symbol SPI_lastoid in
plpgsql.so

Can anyone help me with this - several friends suggested that I should
recompile the DB from source, and enable the large tuples, but I looked
in the source and it clearly says it's supported in this version.

Best regards,
alex.

It's quite improbable that the latter has anything directly to do with
the former.  However, the latter does seems to suggest a version
mismatch problem --- specifically, a 7.1 plpgsql.so and an older
postgres backend.  So I will suggest that your real problem is you have
not updated all components of your PG installation to 7.1.
Try "rpm -qa | grep postgres" and see if anything's out of sync.
