Find and install an RPM (or an SRPM) for pgadmin, rather than installing it from the source tarball? The pbone RPM search suggests that there are such things, though they may be a few versions behind*.
When I was using redhat 9, I found that apt-rpm was invaluable; the lack of any other automatic dependency resolution tools did rather make RPMs a pain.

* for Redhat 9. There's more-recent pgadmin packages for Fedora, which may have spec files you can make use of to build an RPM for older Redhat.
