You will need the alpha patches put together by Uncle George and Ryan
Kirkpatrick -- you can download at
www.ramifordistat.net/postgres/postgresql-6.5.1-alpha.patch.gz

Untar a fresh distribution of 6.5.1, put the patchset in its dir,
CD to the postgresql-6.5.1 directory,
gzip -d -c postgresql-6.5.1-alpha.patch.gz|patch -p1
rebuild, and things should work. This is the patchset that is going in
RedHat 6.1 to make PostgreSQL work right on Alpha.

Oh, that is the numeral one after the -p (just in case you read is as a
lowercase ell.)
