If you have a tarball you are trying to install and it follows the typical convention you would need to do the following after un-tarring into a work directory: ./configure make make install Of course you need to read the installation notes and README files that should be in any software you are installing like this. Understand that this will not update the RPM database nor does it handle dependencies. You are responsible for understanding the package you are installing. Also if the package you are installing is intended to replace a package you have installed via RPM I would recommend you remove the RPM package before you install the new package this way. Also such packages will most likely be installed under /usr/local and not where you would find similar RPM packages installed. -- Scot L.
