  I found that in order to rebuild the 7.2.src.rpm I had to upgrade my
'patch' utility. The one I had installed was version 2.5-9 (the package
build); the one I built from the .src.rpm is 2.5.4. As soon as I freshened
the installation, the command 'rpm --rebuild ...' worked just fine.

  However, there's a problem with 'gettext' that I didn't resolve.
Apparently RH 6.2's version is too old, but trying to rebuild the
gettext.src.rpm kept failing. Rather than futz with that, too, I changed the
spec file so !nls = 0} and I commented out the line requiring gettext.

  If you do this, you need to rebuild the packages from the
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory with the command, 'rpm -ba [--target=iX86]
...'. However, the full set of binary packages for i386, i586, and i686 are
on the postgres ftp server. The i686 version freshened our installation from
7.1.3 to 7.2 flawlessly.

Glad to contribute,
