This is a BAD IDEA. The rhel4 rpms are built for RHEL4, so if they work, they won't be stable. They're expecting the 2.6 kernel, the libs associated with rhel4 etc. These aren't there in 3.6. If you NEED php5 and postgresql 8, you should consider using centos4 and the postgresql8/php5 rpms for centos4. Keep in mind that they're not stock. If you're trying to force them onto your system because you want them, you might give gentoo a try.
Or build from the source tar.gz Postgresql 8.1.3 and PHP 5 and all other programs that depend on these 2 and keep them updated every time an update is issued on ANY of the packages build from source .tar.gz files ..
Thanks for the replies.
Ideally, I'd like to have CentOS 4 running on the system. Unfortunately, the hosting company that we have our VPS only offers Centos 3.6.
If I can already find RPMs already for Postgres 8.1.x, it's gonna make my job a lot easier.

One safer way is to rebuild the PostgreSQL SRPMS on CentOS 3 and see if there's no problem but again you need to rebuild all the other SRPMS that depend on PostgreSQL .. and make this every time an update is issued.
