According to http://silk.apana.org.au/fc2development.html I ought to be able to configure a repo from the content of http://silk.apana.org.au/rpm-stable-dev/fcl.repo :
You should reread it more carefully, they are assuming everyone uses yum metadata... Morevoer, a binary package build on fedora 1O isn't likely to install properly on mageia.
Mandriva 2009 is explicitly listed. libstdc++5-3.3.6-4mdv2009.0.i586.rpm installs on Cauldron (and AFAICT compat with or substitute for it still isn't available from Mageia repos). So I would expect since that works, so would an FCL rpm expressly built for the same system, even if not conveniently via a configured repo.
It's author has been around Linux a long time. I doubt he would claim what he claims about running on/built for old Fedora & Mandriva releases if it wouldn't install on newer versions. His goal is for it to just work using a minimum of deps that all distros require or at least provide anyway. It installed for me easily using the supplied repo file at least on openSUSE 11.3, 11.4, 12.1, 12.2 & release next. I find it hard to believe it wouldn't install as well on Mageia 1, 2 or next, and I would rather have it from a configured repo instead of having to fetch it manually for each new devel build.
You'd better get the source package and rebuild it.
I looked around that site but didn't notice source even being available. I guess to find out if it even is requires access via a repo mechanism.
Not counting Gentoo, last I built anything from source was more than 5 years ago, and I don't expect it will happen again in my lifetime. I don't build. I test software others build.
