etc. etc.

Which version of PostGreSQL are you running?  This error is typically associated with 7.2.  OpenACS 5.0 requires 7.3.  If this is the case, can you point me to any documention which misled you?
right. problem was because of postgres 7.2.
There was no mislead by documentation, i just thought i had red hat 9.0 instead of 8.0
