At last!
Working. And after a little package version fiddling and then finding
that the OOo RPMs install in "/opt" not "/usr/lib" I have it installed
and working. ( Could the problem be the driver was looking to be in
"/opt" but was in "/usr/lib"? )
So far a couple of interesting side effects but I'll do some more
testing before reporting/questioning on them.
Thanks.

I've spent the best part of two days trying to get the PostgreSQL
driver working in OOo 2.0.1. To make a long story short: I've tried
every combination if installing/un-installing/cursing/pleading I can
think of but to no avail. The driver _will not_ show up in the
combo-box for connection to an existing database.
I have followed the instructions at:
http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
Heck I tried hacking the DataAccess.xcu file in every place I could
find it but it didn't work.
I hav also un-installed OOo ( Fedora Core 4 ) and removed any system
reference to OOo, re-installed OOo, and then added the driver back in.
I ran into the same issue with the SQLite driver a few months ago so
I'm wonder how I borked OOo so completely.
Did you try installing it via the menu "Tools - Package Manager" ? Or
perhaps upgrade OOo to 2.0.3? I can't recall if I had it working with
2.0.1 (I may have been using the JDBC driver at that time), but I'm
running the SDBC driver now with 2.0.3 on FC3 and Windows.
One more thing, the Redhat FC version of OOo, if you had it installed at
any time, uses ~/openoffice2.org or similar for user files, whereas the
standard version of OOo, if you've upgraded to it, uses
~/.openoffice2.org (i.e. a hidden directory). Make sure that this isn't
leading you in the wrong direction.
