The best thing, if you have the choice, would be to download the 8.1.4 RPMs
from postgresql.org and run those.  Or run the 8.1.4 RPMs from the CentOS 4
testing repo, which include a compatibility library from an older version,
that some other RHEL 4 binaries depend on.

If you have to run 7.4, though, you might as well run the ones Red Hat
ships.  I doubt they support any other config.
