Rob,
the easiest is to download the source of version 7.1.3 (latest) from
www.postgresql.org. ungtar it and build it from scratch with (if you want
your postgres directory in /home/prosgres):
./configure --prefix=/home
make
make install
Be sure, to remove the previous, incomplete RH 7.1 installation first.
Best regards,
Chris
