There should be a good chance because you compile these -- in general, I think any tar.gz should work if the dependencies are satisfied.
And, the dependencies need to be satisfied in any of these cases. But, it would be better in the case of an rpm to get an rpm made for your distro and the particular version of your distro. Note also that there was a change in rpm format (or something) between rpm 3 and 4 and the two are not compatible. Mandrake has many programs "hidden away" in things like cooker or contrib -- are you looking for a particular program and can't find it? Randy Kramer
