While you really need to upgrade to at least Red Hat 7.3 (7.1 is totally
unsupported from a Red Hat standpoint), you can rebuild from the source RPM
fairly easily with 'rpmbuild --rebuild postgresql-7.3.2-1PGDG.src.rpm'

You will need to do this as root, unless you want to go through the mechanics
of setting up a normal user RPM build environment.

Once done, the binary rpm's will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

If you have errors, let me know (via this list or the pgsql-ports lists --
which is the preferred list, by the way).
