That was interesting, I got the Red Hat src.rpm for postgresql-7.3.2, installed it, and checked the patches. Sure enough, there is a patch for the isblank function in hba.c: postgresql-7.3.1-isblank.patch I applied it and got a successful build. This build is against the latest openssl stuff, with Java enabled using Sun's Java 1.4.2 beta SDK. I previously installed Ant 1.5.3-1 (from http://www.apache.org) and Xerces2-J 2.4.0, and the jars built. I left LANG set to my normal default of 'en_US.UTF-8'. Guess I can start installing now and then seeing if the server and client will work.
