To install and RPM, the easiest way is to open a terminal window and, at the

If you want to install a package that comes from a different distribution that

rpm -qpl package.rpm
and verify that it will not install files in a place that will mess up your

Can you be specific with some of the error messages you are getting when
you try to compile? This would give us a better idea of what may be
