Forcing an RPM installation is not a good idea unless you really
understand the consequences.
* First review the man page for RPM
* try installing the redhat RPM as an update
rpm -Uvh
If there are unsatisfied references
* fetch the source RPM from redhat
* unpack it
rpm -ivh
* Read the man page for rpmbuild
* try building
rpmbuild -bb
