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.
