Get a more recent SRPM and do "rpmbuild --rebuild".  I haven't tried it
but I know of no reason it wouldn't work.

I have endeavored to do so however, I get these errors....  Is there a way to change the build script(s) to ignore this tcl library requirement?

 

error: failed build dependencies:
        tcl-devel is needed by postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG

Just tell rpmbuild to ignore dependencies (--nodeps or some such).  The
dependency on tcl-devel is bogus for older RH installations, because
they didn't have a separate package for tcl's development stuff.

There is another way to do it involving defining a symbol to tell the
build script which platform you are on, but --nodeps is easier ...

            regards, tom lane

See www.postgresql.org and search your OS version.

Anycase you can download postgres source and compile.

build7x should work.
