><P
>Just because two distributions use RPMs doesn't mean they
      can use the same RPMs, for example, RedHat and Caldera use
      different versions of libc, so RedHat binary RPMs probably won't
      work on Caldera.  One trick that might work is to take the SRPMS
      from the RedHat distribution, and use <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rpm
      --rebuild</B
> on them, and then install the resulting
      binary RPMs.  Otherwise, you probably have to follow the tarball
      instructions.</P
