Sorry Derek.  I thought that urpmi was part of the RPM system, and that every 
RPM distro had it.   The real issue seems to be the need for the postgresql 
backend package. Perhaps that is distro specific too.

I had to install 1.8.9 from source to get dependencies right,  Might try the 
RPMs mentioned by Johan.   I did try something from Cooker.
