I knew I must be doing something wrong. I can never seem to get
installing software to be this complicated. All I do with rpms and
debs is open them in mc and click install or upgrade and it's done
(or do an apt-get install <file> if I don't have it in my zips
directory). Silly really, I'll have to get someone to show me the
complicated/fun way. 

Stay well and happy
