How to compile packages (from source)

FOr installing RPMs generally you have to do "rpm -Ivh xyz.rpm"

For updating an already installed package "rpm -Uvh xyz.rpm"

See man pages for more switches. (one of the most handy ones is --force)

Easiest way... Double click on rpm file in nautilus and click on install... and voila..

I never faced any dependencies ever since i migrated to Debian. You see, why debian people are so lazy, and never worry about dependencies...

just an apt-get takes away all worries
# apt-get update
# apt-get install package_name

The advantage is that if there is any error terminal will show it.
