If it is really an rpm file, then you install the thing with :
rpm -Uvh file.rpm
But what you tell here would rather make me think that it is a .tgz
archive. If it is the case, the you have to uncompress it before being
able to install it. The *usual* way to handle it, is the following :
tar vzxf file.tgz
cd <newly created directory>
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
If the file extention (.rpm, .tar.gz or .tgz) can't help you determining
the file type, then the "file" command is your friend...
