If you don't have the Mandrake rpms, and you're not using urpmi, you can use the --force option on the rpm. That will probably work, but only use it if you are certain that the 2 rpm's will satisfy all the deps. In almost all cases, RH rpms work on Mandrake systems. Sometimes you have to figure out where the rpm actually puts stuff, though, and sometimes the RH rpm is looking for deps in someplace other than where mdk has them. I generally use tarballs if the mdk rpm isn't available, and sometimes even if it is, because I have a zip disk with stuff downloaded (java, Acrobat, flash, etc), and I'm on dial-up, so I'm not going to dl anything I don't absolutely have to.
