Looks like you could use it, but depending on what is in the tarball, you may need to have the kernel source installed, which you should be able to find a rpm or another package on the install cds for the distro.

Just wait until the RPM hell kicks in, then you'll want to shoot your computer with a gun Seriously though, that's the reason I stopped using redhat, the packaging system is just horrible compared to Debian's or Gentoo's. I could never go back to RPM hunting when I can just emerge my apps with the quickness, having all dependencies taken care of for me .

Installing apt4rpm was impossible for you?
