If you do take the RPM route (I ended up doing that when installing the Compaq Fortran for Linux), you need to use the --nodeps flag with the rpm command (man rpm for more info). Since the deb and rpm databases are separate, rpm is assuming you don't have the standard c libraries installed (which you do, but since they are installed from a deb, rpm can't check). Yes, it does "pollute" your system with rpms, but I figure since those 4 or 5 rpms required don't affect anything else on the system, the shortcut this time was ok.
