1. Download the source rpm :
    postgresql-7.2.3-1PGDG.src.rpm

2. Run the following commands:
    rpm -iv postgresql-7.2.3-1PGDG.src.rpm
    rpmbuild -ba -target i686 /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postgresql.spec
(Assuming you have a pentium-2 or higher machine)
These will build rpms for your architectures.

3. The rpms will be written to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686 directory. Enter
that directory and install the rpms you want.

Best regards.
