What I did was do the redhat install (was AS4) without checking postgres and the rpm installed fine. Asked for a redhat CD but no other issues. I believe you can uninstall it too, but I did not try that. Also make sure no security SELinux stuff.

Why do you say it is better to compile (besides getting a "customized" postgresql)? Are there major problems with the rpm builds? Our management team really wants us to get away from compiling Postgresql if at all possible. So, I am going to need a very good argument to keep compiling Postgresql when we do this next project.
