I guess my question is... is there a difference between the RPM version and the
compiled version that would make it work?  From a systems standpoint RPM's are
easy to track and manage.  But if I have to install source for this to work
then so be it.  I just want to know if there is something special included in
the source that is making it work as opposed to the RPM the fedora project put
out.
