python-2.2.3-5 should have distuils module installed. Do you have
/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils ?
Anyway,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-09/msg00447.php

No. You can still rebuild the RPMS even if you dont't have PostgreSQL
installed on your server. But you'll need to remove the old binaries
befora installing the new ones.
