Doesn't Red Hat have an installation manager?  I know that SuSE and
 Mandrake do.  Can a Red Hat user please help Stephanie out?

As I said, Stephanie, what's happening is that your computer needs some
 additional software that Postgres depends on.  This software should be
 available from your Linux distributor, in this case Red Hat.  However,
 since I don't use Red Hat, I'm at a loss to give you specific
 instructions.
