Call it a problem or a mistake, always try and follow this rule of thumb or the middle finger or whatever. :D
Rule is to refrain from using tarballs on a linux installation which supports some form of a package management system. This does nothing but breaks things when you try to make any changes like upgrading the software installed using a tarball. See if you can get down the source RPM's. Modify the SPEC file, recompile the source RPM's, make your own binary rpm using rpm -bb and install these RPM's. I cant think of a safer way to do this.
