6.2 may not have new enough versions of these programs. tetex and latex
don't change so frequently, but you'll probably need to download and
install the latest versions of xforms and libforms. rpmfind.net is good
for finding obscure libraries, or if you have a package manager that
supports this (e.g. kpackage) just point it at an FTP site and install
direct from there. Whatever you do, don't attempt to solve the problem
by upgrading to RH 7.0 - it's the Windows ME of the Linux world!
