Just tar up your postgres install directory  and untar it on the other
box, making sure to keep file ownership the same if at all possible.

I've got a 7.2.3 source tree hacked up that compiles on 10.2 if that
would help.  I can tar it up and make it available for you to download.

oh yeah.  I keep 7.2 and 7.3 installed on my box, just in different
directories.  I only run 1 at a time however.
