I'll be a little more forceful than Neale was.  Do not, under any 
circumstances, do this on a system that is maintained via RPM.  You'll be 
laying landmines for yourself, or your successor, and your co-workers to step 
on at some point in the future.  You might get away with it for some period of 
time, but it is definitely considered a bad practice.  Use the package 
management tool that came with your distribution, whether that is RPM, APT, or 
whatever.
