If you want to install an rpm for a different Linux distribution or even
a different RedHat release (or rawhide) the safest way is to download
the src rpm and rebuild:

    rpmbuild --rebuild ......src.rpm

That will link with the libraries installed on your system and (if the
rpm spec file is done correctly) will also adjust paths appropriately
for your system.

Still no guarantee that will work but it can solve some of the obvious
problems.
