use the uname command 'uname -m' . This will give you the machine
hardware type. I got the same message also and also had the tarball install
with no problem. I do not know the details of rpm building but I wonder if you
can build one that checks the machine hardware type and not install if it is
not what is is looking for....
(Mine BTW is i686 and the package would not install with rpm v3.0.4)
