the first thing is that postgres needs several dependencies
bash-3.2# rpm -i pgdg-redhat91-9.1-5.noarch.rpm
warning: pgdg-redhat91-9.1-5.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 442df0f8
error: Failed dependencies:
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by pgdg-redhat91-9.1-5.noarch
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by pgdg-redhat91-9.1-5.noarch
then I found an rpm that has the dependencies but then it too has dependencies
bash-3.2# rpm -i rpm-libs-4.7.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm
warning: rpm-libs-4.7.2-2.fc12.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 57bbccba

errrrr
finally went to http://www.openscg.org/se/postgresql/packages.jsp
and ran rpm -i postgres-9.1.1-1.x86_64.openscg.rpm
B
and it seemed to install. we'll see
