i'm a little late to the party, but...

i read in "php and postgresql advanced web
programming" that...

# rpm -Uvh *rpm

should get the trick done (at least on the version at
the time it was printed).

it also mentions that a package named "mx" may be
missing on some systems and this will cause the rpm to
fail. "mx" isn't required for pgsql to run.

if this is the case, the recommended course of action
is...

# rpm -Uvh *rpm --nodeps

i don't now how relevant this is, but i do hope it is
accurate b/c i will be following it at some point in
the future.
