[Pgcluster-general] Pgcluster pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 install questions

[Given, Robert A]

Greetings,

I'm running Postgresql 8.1.3 on Linux 2.6.5-7.282-s390x and tried to
install pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 and observed several things.

1. The Pgcluster install created a pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 directory where a
lot of binary files were placed. It also replaced several Postgresql
binaries in /usr/local/pgsql. Is this necessary or can I create a
completely separate directory for PGDATA and LD_LIBRARY_PATH? This
caused a problem when I backed out the Pgcluster install and tried to
perform a createuser and got "createuser: creation of new role failed:
ERROR:  This query is not permitted when all replication servers fell
down." I had to restore my /usr/local/pgsql directory from systems
backups.

2. Is pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 the version I should be using with Postgresql
8.1.3? I see that pgcluster-1.7.0rc3 is out, should I use that instead?

3. If I install pgcluster-1.5.0rc14, do I need to install the
pgcluster-1.5.0rc14-patch? Or does this patch just bring older versions
of pgcluster-1.5.0 up to patch level 14?

Thanks in advance. Answers to these questions and any other related
advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
