I was trying to recount the steps for compiling the source rpm for the OP as he clearly was trying to find a ready binary rpm to install and found the mandrake rpm and that didn't seem to be the proper path. Of course if you haven't built any rpm's from source rpms, the process appears to be rather daunting and I thought my brief counting of the steps would be helpful. Craig
