That looks like you're trying to install the latest devel tree.  The
postgres-branch is the work I've been doing for an 8.0 server, and it's
not guaranteed to work with 7.x due to changes in PostgreSQL.  The
mod_python >= 3.0.1 was put in because the mod_python shipped with 8.0
(3.0.0) is broken and will cause great pain in Current.

        I don't think Hunter's commited the patch for the 1.4 series
yet; I'm assuming you pulled from CVS and built your own RPM in this
case?  If so, I'm very impressed that it works on 7.3 - it shouldn't
have worked without doing some fairly extensive PostgreSQL-specific
setup, but I do have to caution you that I'm the only one who's tested
that tree, and it's still decidedly development.
