Default Backup / Restore not working

Hi,

I have installed Postgresql on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise AS 3 system and am
now trying to use pgadmin3 to manage it. As I could not find a snapshot for
the OS I was using, I downloaded and installed pgadmin3 version 1.2.0 for
Red Hat Linux 9. This seems to work well however when I want to backup or
even restore my database, the two option are dimmed and not selectable in
the menu. On one occasion I did manage to get them to come up by randomly
selecting entries on the screen, however I cannot replicate this.

Is there a later snapshot than 1.2.0 for Red Hat 9, or even better, is there
one for Red Hat Enterprise AS version 3. I did download a snapshot I found
for Red Hat Enterprise ES version 4, however this did not install properly.
I have also installed pgadmin3 1.2.2 on my windows XP machine which works
fine, however I want the backup to be stored locally on the Linux box and
not on the windows pc.

You need to make sure that pg_dump and pg_restore are locatable using
the path.
