I will take a stab at it, I don't use Red Hat or Mandrake. I read the
rpm file and noticed it is referencing certain file locations I
programs, and I believe they are for RedHat 6.2. I would make sure that
if you use the USR RPM that the file system structure is the same
between distros & versions,( or figure out the differences & adjust) and
I can tell you, they probably are not.
Hope this helps some.
