ok, i guess i didn't make myself clear.

it's not the mechanics of changing from one version of postgresql to
another.

it's the twisty maze of passages due to rpm dependencies. i'm wondering if
anyone has upgraded from postgresql 7.1 to 7.2 or 7.3 on a redhat 7.1
system and can address the rpm dependencies (or else will recommend just
building from source.)

the big hitch with a straightforward rpm upgrade seems to be the
libcrypto.so and libssl.so dependencies. it's possible that there's an
easy fix, but i don't have any non-production redhat 7.1 boxes around to
test on, and am not in a position to build a 7.1 box just to try it out.
if someone has already jumped off this bridge and knows what to do, i'd
just kind of appreciate hearing about it.
