Yes, packaging programs like rpm or dpkg (used by Ubuntu) do not actually look what you have on your disk but rely on a database of previously installed packages. This means that you cannot install an rpm package on a non-rpm-based distribution like Ubuntu. You can try out "alien" which can convert packages from one format to another but this is known to be fragile and may not work. The better solution would be to find a native package (.deb) of the software you are interested in or package it as .deb yourself.
