In order to rebuild from the source rpm, you must have the following
installed:
egcs
development libraries for egcs
c++ and its libs
python and python-devel
perl
tcl AND tk -- which implies a full X11 installation.

The last one about tk seems to be where your build is stalling -- you
must not have tk installed.

You _can_ comment out the configure option for tk, as well as the
pgaccess build and install, AND the pgaccess and tk libs in the %files
list for the postgresql-tcl subpackage, if you can't install tk. The
%files listing for pgaccess and pgtksh are tripping you.

And yes, rpm -ba works fine for me -- otherwise there would be no binary
RPM's at all, as I build them on my own machine. I can send you an 'rpm
-qa' listing of my development machine if that would help....
