Please Read the information concerning "Guidelines for CentOS Mailing
List posts" at the bottom of this link:

http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16

Specifically, it is much easier to follow a quoted e-mail on the list if
you do not "top post".

It is also better to set your e-mail client to send to the list as
"Text" and not "HTML" type.

With respect to installing RPMS ...

You CAN NOT install rpms built for one distribution on another
distribution ... let me explain why.

Linux uses "Shared Libraries" (as does Windows with .dll files).  The
point of a "Shared Library" is so that you only build the NEW things you
need for the program you are building, and you get the REST of the
information from files that are already available.

If you try to install packages built against Fedora 11 on CentOS 5 then
none of the "Shared Libraries" that the package was built against (the
versions in Fedora 11) are in CentOS 5, so it does not work.

It is sometimes possible to take Fedora "SOURCE RPMS" (a
.src.rpm) and build it on a CentOS 5 machine and then use
the resultant "Binary RPMS" on CentOS-5.

One should NEVER, EVER install "Binary RPMS" from one distribution on
another distribution ... doing will not work. The files are built
against different libraries and even if they install they will likely
not work.

As others have pointed out, there are other repositories available:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

If what you need is not there, you will need to build it or convince
someone else to build it for you.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Take a look at http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories - most of what people 
want is already in the main repo's - if not, many people are happy to 
help bring the apps into the repos.

I know the exact situation you are in, quite a few people I work with 
tend to use KeePass and I've needed to look at something reasonable that 
would still work and have ended up using this :

http://www.karan.org/mock/KeePassX-0.3.1-bin.tar.gz

its a static build, so you can untar it into the same place where you 
have the password db file and run it directly from there. I've been 
using it for a few years now and it just works.

Its not an rpm, I dont want to convert a static build like this into an 
rpm. For me, it solves a very specific problem - even if in a kludgy way.

The newer 0.4+ versions dont build on CentOS-5 thelast time I looked ( 
and its been a while, but I've not been motivated enough to go back and 
revisit the situation - if someone else does, please let me know )

Well,

I am really new at the linux game and have decided to try it out on a
different computer.

It is kind of hard to find RPM's for CentOS as well, and the ones that
usually work for Fedora 10 can work with Cent.

I am not saying all the time, but some of the time.

So yeah, i am just trying random things hoping something sticks but am
willing to listen if anyone else has any information that would be useful.

ok, so (1) what makes you think that centos-5 is the same as fedora-11 
or even fedora-10 ? (2) your email client is broken.

I can see you are blindly just doing random things in the hope that 
something works accidently. You can carry on doing that if you like, its 
a free world after all. Or you can take a minute consider what you are 
doing, whats been said here - and then do something specific that has a 
higher probability of working.

If you use yum it should download and install dependencies for you.
