The following things things might be of interest when downloading these items:

The source download is a tarball, which you can then install as per the instructions in the file name INSTALL inside the tarball.

The Intel x86 RPM is Intel PC specific, and will not work on other systems such as Sun Sparc machines.

The source RPM should give you enough to build the package, but you are probably better off with the tarball for most cases. The source RPM is useful if you would like to make a RPM for a different architecture. Please send me a copy to post here if you do.
