RPMs under Drake, in my experience, are evile. I have gotten precisely one RPM for Mandrake 8 to install correctly on my system. Not using RPMs was the lesson I learned right after how to find downloaded files (imagine, webbing all these years, and the first thing I do in Mandrake is lose a download). The lesson I learned immediately after "don't trust RPMs" is how to tweak and compile stuff myself. :-)
