Those RPM's were built for openssl-0.9.6, RH 7.0 comes with 0.9.5.  You can 
probably install both versions and still be able to use the old stuff for 
binary compatibilty (like RH 7.0 Apache-SSL) and the new stuff for 
everything else (using symlinks in /lib/..., if you know how).

BTW, you can search for "libpq.so.2" on http://www.rpmfind.net  It's not 
quite as good as Debian, but you can find a lot of packages there.  I think 
that is from postgresql-devel-7.1...

But don't take my advice for it, it's easy to screw up a box with 
willy-nilly rpm's.  :-)  The easiest route is to install 7.1 from scratch.

BTW, I thought I would mention that I upgraded our production rh 7.0 boxes 
to 2.4.7 and had a noticeable performance/capacity increase.

Good luck,
