Using RPMs doesn't conflict at all with my religious views. I guess I was
just compiler-happy that particular day. :>)
Actually, I am now in the process of getting the RPM. I'm hoping the package is
compatible with rpm on rh 6.0 - that is not always the case, I have found -
but we shall see. If not, I'm gonna upgrade to later RH soon.
