When I am looking for a package that does not exist under rhel5,
is it better to get rhel4 or fc6?
Get RHEL5 and install the fc6 package on it.
Or better yet, grab the FC6 SRPM and recompile it on your RHEL5/FC6 to
be sure all your shared libraries, etc match. Very simple to setup and
perform as a non-root user:
#configure your non-root user's rpm build environment
mkdir $HOME/rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
#build the rpm against your installed platform
rpmbuild --rebuild your-fc6.src.rpm
