+The RPM packages of PostgreSQL put ``pg_config`` into the ``postgresql-devel``
+package, not the main server one.  And if you have a RPM install of PostgreSQL
+9.0, the entire PostgreSQL binary directory will not be in your PATH by default
+either.  Individual utilities are made available via the ``alternatives``
+mechanism, but not all commands will be wrapped that way.  The files installed
+by repmgr will certainly not be in the default PATH for the postgres user
+on such a system.  They will instead be in /usr/pgsql-9.0/bin/ on this
+type of system.
+
+When building repmgr against a RPM packaged build, you may discover that some
+development packages are needed as well.  The following build errors can
+occur::
+
+  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxslt
+  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpam
+  
+Install the following packages to correct those::
+
+  yum install libxslt-devel
+  yum install pam-devel
+
+If building repmgr as a regular user, then doing the install into the system
+directories using sudo, the syntax is hard.  ``pg_config`` won't be in root's
+path either.  The following recipe should work::
