[newbie]Using RPM

[George Baker]

Trying to install a package alien-7.27-1mdk.src.rpm. Used rpm -ivh but
get message:
only major numbers supported in this version of rpm.
Where can I get a version of rpm that does support non major numbers?
Or where can I find alien with a major number release. Tried rpmfind.net
- no luck.
