1. DON'T USE nodeps

It's because the binaries don't have libpq.so.3 (if I remember correctly). Installing it this way will just break those things that need that library.

Instead.... install the compat-postgresql-libs

Another option might be to simply leave the original postgresql-libs- 7.x package installed. On CentOS-3, at least, there's no conflict between rh-postgresql-libs-7.3.10-1 (which also provides libpq.so.3) and postgresql-libs-8.0.3-1PDG (built from PostgreSQL supplied SRPM).
