I wanted to install postgreSQL 7.4 on my ia32e box (x86_64 dual xeon PL370G4) 
running WBEL3.0.  I looked for binary RPMs but did not find any. So I tried to

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'build9 1' postgresql-7.4.6-2PGDG.src.rpm

but during configure I get the error

....

checking how to link an embedded Python application... no
configure: error: Python Makefile not found
Fehler: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.75919 (%build)

python-devel-2.2.3-5 is installed. On a similar i386 system (same versions of rpms), this error does not happen; here I could build all RPMs successfully (but, of course, not for x86_64).

python-2.2.3-5 should have distuils module installed. Do you have /usr/lib/python2.2/distutils ?


Anyway,

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2004-09/msg00447.php

has a patch that fixes your problems. Could you please apply it to your postgresql source and retry building rpm?

On my x86_64 system, rh-postgresql 7.3.6-7 is still installed - I thought I could rebuild newer RPMS before removing the old ones. Should I remove rhdb first?

No. You can still rebuild the RPMS even if you dont't have PostgreSQL installed on your server. But you'll need to remove the old binaries befora installing the new ones.
