I had this issue also with SLES10(SP3, I suspect SP4 would work fine), SLES9, and RHEL 5.6. A `make install` from the source will get you around this, but that might not be an option for all people. Otherwise you have to install a different version of RPM, however when I googled, it didn't seem like Red Hat had a version of RPM that supports Lzma. Someone from Red Hat might be able to tell you differently.
