Re: postgresql 7.4.2 binary for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1

Yes there are defines which turn off parts of the build and or change dependencies. For example the following sets dependencies for Red Hat 8 (build8x) and turns off python support

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'build8x 1' --define 'python 0' postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG.src.rpm

I don't know what Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is equivalent to with regards to desktop versions so can't help you with choosing a correct define.
Have a look at the end of the rpm build script for a list of available defines.

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

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