Re: building pgadmin3 on rh7.3

That is a pity, because RH7.3 is in use in a lot of pl;aces - it was the
base for RHAS2.something.

I am prepared to help you with this (yes, I know it will involve some
time), although my ability to mangle the one RH7.3 box I have access to
is limited, as it is a production machine, albeit under very light load
right now.

However, my home machine is RH8 because I haven'ty bothered to upgrade
it to RH9, so I can mangle that to my heart's content, and that sounds a
more promising candidate.

Have you thought about the possibilities of static linking to reduce
runtime dependencies?
