Re: installation on RedHat 6.2

Rob,
the easiest is to download the source of version 7.1.3 (latest) from
www.postgresql.org. ungtar it and build it from scratch with (if you want
your postgres directory in /home/prosgres):

./configure --prefix=/home
make
make install

Be sure, to remove the previous, incomplete RH 7.1 installation first.

Best regards,
Chris
