You have some packages installed that Bill doesn't. Try
rpm -Uvh rpm* popt-1.6.4-7x.i386.rpm \
python-popt-0.8.7-7.x.2.i386.rpm kdeadmin-2.2.2-3.i386.rpm \
gnorpm-0.96-12.7x.i386.rpm
Note where the wildcard is in the spec for the rpm* rpms.
One problem with tar/make/make install is, no dependency checking. So
it's easy to install incompatible packages and have them fail. The other
problem is, many tarballs don't uninstall themselves cleanly, if at all,
and most tarballs don't have provision for a clean upgrade to a later
version.
