Thanks, that is what I figured. I really don't get rpm's, it seems you are stuck with whatever the packager felt like putting in the rpm. Want to add a library? Like zlib for example? then you have to re-compile it yourself anyways. They seem completely useless to me for anything but a very basic program with no real compile options.

Well, you can always compile from source. Or choose a distribution that doesn't use RPMs (like Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo, et. al.) [ trimmed the rest ]
