BTW, there is no need in this. It is enough to get just postmaster from
RPM. Easiest method is thru MC :-):
just click to old PG RPM, select usr/bin, then copy postmaster and
pg_dumpall to your home directory.
Start old postmaster, then run pg_dumpall >somefile, stop postmaster (just
do killall postmaster). That's all.
You'd start the new PG and do psql -f somefile...
