I had run the rpm 'verify' but that was never the issue. It appears that the problem I had was that there are some splash screens that are awaiting input but they never do show up on F9/KDE but I could just hit enter a few times to satisfy the unseen dialog boxes and then it would run. Anyone else running Fedora 9, KDE and pgadmin3 - do they have the same issue?
