Hi Robert,

first, the current PostgresSQL was *designed* to allow multiple
versions of PostgreSQL run in parallel (and even run several instances
of one version in parallel.

This looks fine (you seem to be running Ubuntu 6.06). However, please
bear in mind that version 8.0 is *entirely* unsupported! It was
removed from Debian and is not supported in Ubuntu Dapper either, so
you are running a PostgreSQL server with known security holes and
bugs.

That being said, it should still work. What does 'pg_lsclusters' say?

Thanks,

Martin
