To add to what Reindl said, this should be the steps you should follow when installing applications: 1. $ yum search <name> 2. If you find something, then simply # yum install <package_name> 3. If not, search for community maintained repositories on rpmfusion or fedorapeople or some such similar resource. A search engine like Google or Yahoo helps. 4. When all of the above fails, build an rpm from source (unless it is a complex application to package). 5. If building a package is difficult, then and only then install from source. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
