Just installed PgSQL 7.4 and tried to configure DBD::Pg. Get the error:

Doing this on Mac OS 10.3.1, perl 5.8.2.

 

check the DBD::Pg source, youll prolly find $VERSION = '7.4';

try taking out the quotes.

This may cause install problems - as XS code (ie C) needs its versions 
as strings,  IIRC,
and evidently Postgres is expecting ints.

If so, try to find where $VERSION is used in driver, and see if you can 
make both sides happy.

U could also get last DBD-Pg version, and diff them |grep VERSION to 
hunt for clues
how it was previously handled - iff there are differences.
