It's the wrong version.

Install with --nodeps, and then install the current Pg module from 
gborg.postgresql.org.  I'm still waiting for someone to step up to the plate 
and maintain RPM's for the parts of PostgreSQL that were removed from the 
main tarball, such as perl.  The python client will likewise need a RPM 
maintainer for 7.4 (IIRC; I saw something about the python client being 
removed a couple of weeks ago).

I think it's the Rserv contrib module that's throwing the dependency into the 
build.

If people can wait a little, I'll try to do it before 7.4 release.  (note: no 
beta RPMs yet).
