Hi,
When you say preinstalled with the system, you mean preinstalled with RedHat
Linux?
I seem to have the right version ... I had to use the full path to identify the
version.
-bash-4.1$ /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/pg_dump --version
pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 9.2.4
How can I find the package name for the older version?
Thanks!
Thara.

You did get the right client, but that's not what you are running. You are
running the preinstalled Postgres which came pre-installed on your system.
Type "which pg_dump" to see where it is located. Your best bet is to use your
package manager to remove the preinstalled version, as otherwise it's going to
keep giving you trouble.
