If you do grab the source RPM, you should run the following command on it: rpm --rebuild pixieplus-0.5.4-6mdk.src.rpm This will build the pixieplus binary RPM for your system. I think the default RPM configuration will drop it into /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586.
(If you run 'rpm -ivh' on a source RPM, it extracts the sources to the /usr/src/RPM/{SOURCES,SPECS} directories)
If you really hit a brick wall on this one, I can always build the RPM for you on the MDK9.2 system we have here at home and magick it to you. :)

Okay, next question: how do I uninstall software that I've compiled from source? ;)
I did what I _thought_ was the right stuff (./configure, make, make
install), but I've ended up, literally hours later, with nothing. The
application doesn't run; it's like it's not even there (which, I'm guessing, it isn't). Aside from one file each in /usr/share/application-registry and /usr/share/mime-info,
all a file search reveals are the original .rpm file, and the stuff that
ended up in /usr/src/[etc].
I configured, made, and installed from what rpm --rebuild gave me in
/usr/src/RPMS/BUILD-- though there was also a .tar.gz in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES after the rpm rebuild. Should I have unpacked _that_ and used it? Or does it make a difference? And why doesn't anydamnedthing ever work for me? ;)
