It is also possible to compile from the PostgreSQL-source by yourself. I did it already for RHEL5 x86-64 without any problems. Compiling is easy, and well documented, under the condition that you've installed several development packages on RHEL. For example, you need zlib-devel, readline-devel, development tools (gcc and gmake) and of course the kernel sources. Maybe you want OpenSSL then you need OpenSSL-devel too. I've no experience with "--enable-dtrace" so maybe you need an extra development package. Give it a try, there are several benefits for compiling by yourself.
