Looks like I'll be compiling. BTW, I'm not planning on running a server on it but have a couple pieces of expensive specialized hardware that are only certified on RHEL 5 i386 systems. They do need to talk to the server and I don't want to delay the migration of the rest of the infrastructure just because those aren't replaced, yet.
Cheers,
Steve

There are no packages for CentOS 5 / PG 9.6, and it was my decision to drop
support -- as I thought that using CentOS 5 with a new set of PG releases would
not be the best idea.
I still think so.
However, you can still rebuild 9.6 RPMs on your CentOS 5 box, by using this
SRPM:
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/srpms/9.6/ redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/ postgresql96-9.6.2-2PGDG. rhel6.src.rpm
I did not test it though, but it should work or less work...
You can also contact a PostgreSQL support company, and ask them to provide the
RPMs, too.
