No, indeed, and I removed this second copy from here.

Still get the error as before.

Maybe the PostgreSQL version 9.2, that I have installed is not
appropriate for mahara, because I read in the 
/usr/share/mahara/htdocs/init.php

the following lines ( from 137 to 142 ):

    // Now we have a connection, verify the server is a new enough
    version
    $dbversion = $db->ServerInfo();
    if (is_postgres()) {
        $okversion = '8.3';
        $dbfriendlyname = 'PostgreSQL';
    }

So, my version of the installed PostgreSQL is 9.2, but for the init.php
it should be version 8.3?

No, I think not, because when I change the line

$okversion = '8.3';

to

$okversion >= '8.3';

and try to refresh the localhost/mahara site, I get the same error.
