Getting apt-rpm

Hi, all,

I am trying to install apt-rpm on FC4.

I tried a couple of methods.

(1) When I tried apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm, I get the following error msg.

[root@localhost downloads]# rpm -i apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm
warning: apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID e42d547b
error: Failed dependencies:
       libreadline.so.4 is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386

       libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386

Looks like I need them, but where and how can I get them?

(2) When I tried apt-0.5.15cnc7.tar.bz2, ./configure worked good without giving me an error. But when I tried make, I get the following error msg.

What am I doing wrong here?

Is there better way of installing apt-rpm? It seem like a good way of installing rpm packages.

Thanks for your kind help, in advance.
