[SLUG] rpm vs source install, backlevel version, any gotchas ?

["Voytek Eymont" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I needed to install some additional PHP functionality on RH73,
specifically, 'xslt'

as it is, the functionality is provided by package 'sablot'

as I couldn't find rpm for the required 'sablot' and 'expat' (pre-req);
I downloaded source and compiled both expat ver.2 and sablot 1.02

of course, as soon as 'make install' completed, I located required RPMs

the RPMs were slightly backlevel:

0.98 (source 1.02) and expat 1.95 (source 2)

so, now I've installed the RPM, PHP info reports sablotron 0.98 and expat
1.95, the required functionaly works, all is well;

Question:

so, essentially, I've installed source packages, followed by, bacllevel
RPM packages:
should I be removing the source-installed sablotron and expat ?
or, don't worry, be happy, it works ?
