Yes, compile the sources by yourself. There are differences between
distributions, and, for example if the rpm's were compiled for rh 7.1,
it might mean that they do not work on mandrake because of library
differences.

rpm --rebuild postgresql.....src.rpm

Even this might fail, though, and might require changes to the .spec
file. In this case, if you do not feel comfortable doing the changes,
I'd recommend waiting for somebody else to make binary RPM's available
for Mandrake.
