If you're dealing with RPM files, you're likely running into dependency
issues. Look for RPMs which are built for your distribution, including the
version. Even then, you might run into dependency problems, such as
needing a newer glibc, or something like that.

I have to assume that there are many good repositories for Mandrake RPMs.
Alas, rpmfind.net isn't what it used to be. Try rpm.pbone.net (even though
their search funtion sucks) and maybe check Mandrake's site for a list of
mirrors.
