The result of 'rpm -qa|grep postgres' would be educational here.

I can provide you with a set built on and by a RedHat 6.1 box to test to
see if there are differences -- AFAIK, the 6.2 binaries work fine on
6.1. However, if this is not the case, then I can make 6.1 binaries
available for download easy enough.

What I would like to see is for someone to try to build the 7.0.3-2 SRPM
on RedHat _5.2_ -- I no longer have a build system running that release.
