If you remember when you were looking for a Redhat distro when
in England some weeks ago, I recommand you not to grab the RH 7.1
but stay with RH 6.2

May be I could help you here. What's problems you encounter with rpm ?
Just take a look at ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/home/gomez/ and
you'll find many SOURCE RPMs ready to use ? Java and native ...
But I package RPMs for years and may be that's why I find it
so easy ;)
