Are there any binaries for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.  The OS shipped with Postgresql 7.1.3... I would like to upgrade. Are there any suggestions?
 
Thanks

Get a more recent SRPM and do "rpmbuild --rebuild".  I haven't tried it
but I know of no reason it wouldn't work.

I have endeavored to do so however, I get these errors....  Is there a way to change the build script(s) to ignore this tcl library requirement?

Yes there are defines which turn off parts of the build and or change dependencies. For example the following sets dependencies for Red Hat 8 (build8x) and turns off python support
 
rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'build8x 1' --define 'python 0' postgresql-7.4.2-1PGDG.src.rpm
I don't know what Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 is equivalent to with regards to desktop versions so can't help you with choosing a correct define.
Have a look at the end of the rpm build script for a list of available defines.

Just tell rpmbuild to ignore dependencies (--nodeps or some such).  The
dependency on tcl-devel is bogus for older RH installations, because
they didn't have a separate package for tcl's development stuff.

There is another way to do it involving defining a symbol to tell the
build script which platform you are on, but --nodeps is easier ...

See www.postgresql.org and search your OS version.

Anycase you can download postgres source and compile.
