when you use "rpm" you have to make sure there will be no conflicts
with some previous version of the software you install, i.e. use the
"-U" option (rpm -U) to upgrade the software, or erase (rpm -e) the
previous software and reinstall if it's an alder version. There is a
database which keeps track of any version of software installed with
rpm. If you have any problem with rpm, you still can install the
software from the compressed tar archive (following the
installations instructions).
