I downloaded, compiled and installed with no problem and a RedHat 6.0/x86 
machine.  One thing I noticed is that the PG_SUBVERSION string is still
reporting 1.  I was confused for a minute when the program reported itself
as 6.5.1.  I thought the installation failed or something like that.  I 
checked postgresql-6.5.3/src/include/version.h.in and sure enough, it's 
defined a 6.5.1   If this is intentional, I'll slap myself for you.
